So I may have mentioned we’re going to Mexico at the end of the year. Leah’s parents are generously footing the bill. I haven’t given the trip much thought (the day-to-day mental challenges of raising a kid have a way of blocking out everything else), but I decided today that I’m going to try to pack as little as I possibly can for the trip. For a couple reasons. First, Leah will pack a lot. And Ava’s coming along, so she’ll need a few things, too. Second, I don’t need a lot of stuff. One pair of shorts. A t-shirt for each day. Underwear (still undecided). Toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Pair of walking shoes. Flip flops. Maybe a pair of socks. I don’t think I’ll bring my laptop this time, but I will bring my new camera, my old A620, and a smallish camera bag. I think there’s a very real chance I can get all this into my backpack. Or maybe I’ll check the backpack and carry on my camera bag. Can I carry on my camera bag? I guess I’d better look into that.
Hopefully there won’t be any hurricanes or other inclement weather while we’re there.
