Two words: rick steves.

True: Two carry-on bags and two computer bags cannot fit all the clothes you need for three weeks

in the sublime comfort and stylin’ shoes we all deserve. But… it can still do it. Shoot, I did it for two-and-a-half-weeks in Italy (no room service, but I did get to a laundromat. once.)

There are all kinds of trips and tips for traveling very light, but very completely: Mr. Steves and his travel guides cover most of them quite well (your public library will have copies, of course)

One small suggestion on clothes, f.w.i.w.: you can post them (or Fedex, etc.), too. Either you can forward some clothes to a future destination, or you can buy extras where you are and then ship home the excess. Yes, this can get spendy in a hurry, esp. if you weren’t planning to buy clothes, but it is a doable option if you truly get strapped for something decent to wear.

I’m not a big fan of e-books, but i do have text files of a couple books and pdf’s of some comics on my laptop just in case I ever forget to bring along a book, or finish the one I’m reading. Once in a while they’ve come in very handy.

I also sometimes copy long magazine articles that I find online but don’t have time to read into a text file and keep them around to read at leisure.

You still seem to have ample enough time to post alot, or I just haven’t been checking often enough. Did you REALLY get to meet Alice Walker? Because if you did then I need details, because I LOVE her! I WORSHIP her!

It sounds like you guys are having a great time, what with all the free books and physical exhaustion! Ha ha. I don’t think I could ever go anywhere with just a carry-on. (I’m a bit of a schlepper!)

Good luck with the rest of the tour, and I’ll be by in November to collect some of those free books, just to get them off your hands, of course!

See you soon. I miss you!

And wouldn’t you know we turned up the furnace back in NYC, just so that by the time you get back, all the fuel will be spent and it will be cold!!

Glad you’re enjoying yourselves, even with the exhaustion.
