Travel Roundup: packing tips from experts
What they make you do with your feet at the Taj Mahal
Once upon a time, I had it in my mind that I was an expert travel packer, having been a traveller since the age of 19 years old, schlepping bags all over the world. That is, until my last trip to the great city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to attend my nephew’s wedding.
On this trip, I thought I was being smart by packing a simple black dress. Upon unpacking, I discovered I brought the same simple black dress I wore to my other nephew’s wedding. Not only that, I doubled the number of shoes I needed for the weekend, and forgot my toothbrush.
So much for being an expert.
“On your trip you’ll meet two kinds of travelers: those who pack light and those who wish they had.” ~ Rick Steves, travel expert
