Packing for two years in two suitcases. Hmmm. Quite a challenge. The airlines began imposing baggage and weight restrictions a few years ago and you need to be prudent in your choice of items to pack. Peace Corps volunteers are given the rare luxury of being able to check two bags weighing a total of 100 lbs.
But still. I am packing for 2 years here.
I can't help but think about a news cast I listened to on NPR last summer. Emily Rooney was talking about boarding a plane for some unnamed destination. She was restricted to the one bag allowence, while down the aisle comes a little girl pushing her dolly in a toy stroller. Okay? Okay? Now what about that? If we can get rid of all the useless stuff, we might be allowed another 10 lbs. or so.
In Emily's words..."It's all junk! Junk!" Touche, Emily. Touche.
