I was also packing coordinated outfits for each day of the trip, but limit my footwear to 3 pairs which always inludes rubber sandals/thong slippers. Now I just keep things within the basics and learned to let go of a few degrees of O.C.-ness :DMom-Fridayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05055264257657142894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789322306184290630.post-12796667521690495632010-04-20T23:23:16.570+08:002010-04-20T23:23:16.570+08:00wow, with 3 kids, it's hard to travel light. t...wow, with 3 kids, it's hard to travel light. thanks for sharing all your travel quirks! i was laughing my head off while reading!<br><br>i try to travel light when i can - well, because i have to. i have to bring my heavy dslr camera + lens + mac + all sorts of photographic accessories + notebook + guidebooks on top of personal items! add stroller to the mix and we pretty much have our hands full. so, clothes take a backseat. i seldom bring high heels when i travel. if i really needed one, i'll buy locally. i also need to wear 'comfy clothing' like sarouels, khakis, leggings because i'm squatting, climbing, bending to take photos. good thing we have our dear husbands to help us along!jen lacedahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619343060622081800noreply@blogger.com
