My main dilemma always ends up being with shoes and books, in no particular order. They are of equal issue to me when it comes to traveling. I like to think that I will always have a wonderful assortment of footwear when on trips, and likewise I feel as though I must have a small library with me so that I can choose exactly what I feel like reading on any particular day. I just do not find it appealing to lock myself into any particular "genre," in either my reading material or my foot covering. Maybe it's an issue of commitment, and thus something I should work through, but I like to think that it is my "creative" side that wants to be sure that the whole world is her oyster, incessantly.
I'm beginning to think it is a bit of both, but regardless this trip has stipulations...one bag and one backpack. So however claustrophobic I might feel in having to pigeon hole each and every one of my outfits and decide (beforehand) what my whim and fancy might be in terms of books, I nevertheless must make decisions. The boundaries of fascist airline baggage weight stipulations, combined with the fact that I am going to have to lug said baggage across a portion of Germany and the better part of England, dictates that I better make some very decisive, productive slashing of materials in the next few hours. Thus, I better be off, but I am now beginning the series of blogging over the next 6 weeks, centered around my travels in Germany and England. I have always had grandiose hopes of maintaining this blog in a timely fashion (and never really have), but this time around, I will.
