I want to pack super lightly because there is no way in hell I'm going to pay to bring luggage. Of the many upheavals that have taken place for airline travel, paying for luggage is the one change that irks me the most.
How audacious is it that airlines are making you fork over your money to bring luggage with you? Of course you are going to bring stuff with you on your flight!
Granted, some of the fees are minimal, but I balk at the price solely based on principle.
I would love to pack everything for my trip to Japan in a single carry-on. Packing a carry-on is not only hassle free (no fees! no worries that you'll lose a bag!), but I like the challenge of making my packing wardrobe concise. Considering that we'll only be gone for a week, I think this is very doable. My only concern about not checking luggage is making sure I have room for all the goodies I'm planning on stocking up on while shopping in Japan!
I also plan on packing comfy, chic and loose clothing, because I am definitely planning on getting fat in Japan. This is going to be less of a sightseeing trip and more of an all-you-can-eat tour of Japan.
Until I actually take off, I'll be pinning tips, places to see and foods to eat on Pinterest. You can stay abreast here.
Also, just because of the trip and just because I'm packing lightly and just because I'm slightly obsessed, I may finally cave and get myself a flippin' Kindle. I know, I know. I've resisted with every fiber of my being for so long, mainly because I want to remain true to my true love of the written word on paper, but also, I have a deep, dark feeling that if I got my hands on a Kindle, I would fall madly in love with it. The convenience of traveling with a Kindle is quite the siren's song, and I will probably end up purchasing this one before too long.
In the meantime, I'm still devouring old-fashioned books with a healthy appetite. My current read is Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild. It's being loaned out to me by a friend, and I'm plowing through it. It's fantastic.
My copy of Unbroken is making its rounds at work. In fact, I'm not sure which coworker is reading it now, and I'm sadly uncertain if the book is going to make its way back to me. It's bittersweet. I'm sad that I may not see it again, but I'm pumped that my coworkers are loving the book so much that they cannot suppress the urge to keep passing it along.
What are you all reading these days?
