Packing didn’t take long. Everything fit into the tiny backpack.
The only things that I took and didn’t use were: a couple of bandaids, 6 feet of nylon twine, and that cane sticking out of the pack.
While waiting for the plane, I did this little post action report for myself.
Traveling ultra light. I liked it. I didn’t miss anything. At least not enough to have lugged it around on two cabs, two metros, two buses, two planes. And kept track of for 9 days.
Two skirts and two shirts were all I needed. I don’t think that any one noticed that I always wore the same thing a lot
One pair of shoes was fine. One swimsuit was sufficient.
I really didn’t need three sets of undies. But, hey, they’re small.
Got along fine with just the phone and the Kindle. And the power bank.
I would have used my camera if I had it. But, my experience was in no way compromised by not having 3 pounds of camera gear.
The folding water bottle is awesome.
The phone does everything the iPad does. Just smaller.
Traveling ultra light is very liberating. I will do it again. And I might just declutter the Old Bat Cave a little. Less is best.
And one last advantage: 20 minutes after I walked in the door the coffee was made and the unpacking was done
