The art of packing light!

2 days and counting and then Kelly and I are leaving RIC for Newport. As a serial over-packer I've decided I'm going to take a page out of Kelly's book and start packing lighter. Simplify life.


I found this quote in an article from the San Fran Gate that says it all. This girl won't be checking a bag for Newport..but she might be borrowing shampoo, hairdryers, and lots of other things from you guys!

"Packing light offers less tangible but very real benefits. It's a chance to pare down and simplify our lives, to discover what is truly essential and
what is not. It's a reminder that we're more than the sum of our possessions."

Simply cannot wait! Listen to the playlist below, pack your carry-on and be there! Ali, I'm still holding out hope that you'll change your plans and surprise me ;)...Fi, we'll see you at the train station on Thurs! Oh, and I don't have time before the trip to buy the bag pictured from http://www.zappos.com/, but isn't it cute? Carrying that through the airport is reason enough to pare down a bit.
