Traveling is a pleasure, but packing can be a chore. But it's a chore that pays for itself many times over, I say, remembering that I left my sneakers behind when travelling to Moscow. The lesson learned on that trip iwas hiking boots are no substitute for sneakers for playing a pickup game of soccer. And at that time, buying a pair on the spot was not easy or affordable. On the plus side, I could easily carry my luggage. And in that vein I offer you the entertaining advice on how to pack for several months in Europe, a paean to REI.

My first trip overseas was a pretty good lesson in what I really need; I think I travel better domestically as a result, as well.
(Of course, having the luggage I did pack take an extra day to arrive and thus spending a night in Reykjavik with only a day pack was an even _better_ lesson in what I really needed. :->)
