The more strapped for time you are though the more transportation is going to cost! But no matter what, it's amazing. Hope that helps :)Celeste Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320277479867366961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417784322197275588.post-4945939829264492622012-10-26T12:38:01.476-07:002012-10-26T12:38:01.476-07:00New reader here.

I can't remember the last time we were able to pack for one main climate zone- what a luxury! =) I aspire to pack so lightly one day. Thanks for sharing.

It felt much lighter when I started but who knows how much of that was psychological!Celeste Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320277479867366961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417784322197275588.post-25192827270908734542012-10-12T18:51:57.724-07:002012-10-12T18:51:57.724-07:00Hey Celeste: Due to some health issues, I have to ...Hey Celeste: Due to some health issues, I have to be careful about how much weight I carry in my backpack. How much would you say your packed day pack weighed?

Basically it allows me to pack stuff like a knife, tweezers and/or extra toiletries and if I have long layovers I don't have to drag my bag around. International flights almost always let you check in at least one free bag. Not sure everyone would agree on that technique but that's how I like doing it :)<br /><br />I dream of going to Mongolia! In my top five.Celeste Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320277479867366961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417784322197275588.post-51333147751884228932012-10-12T03:29:58.204-07:002012-10-12T03:29:58.204-07:00Looks much like my own pack for more than a month ...Looks much like my own pack for more than a month in Mongolia (with the addition of silk long-underwear, a fleece hat 'n gloves for those frigid nights on the floor of an unheated ger of course). ;)<br /><br />Just one question: I presume you don't check bags en route, so... how do get the Army knife through security?TravelnLasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319785630291499771noreply@blogger.com
