Flip Flop Dilemma!

[M&G Montreal]

Somebody posted here a while back that it's not the packing list before you leave, it's the UNPACKING list that counts. Take whatever this trip, but when you get back home, unpack and make a list of what you took, what you used, what you didn't use. And be brutal on the next trip about NOT taking what you didn't use last trip. It's working for me - 1 kg at a time! Every kg counts!

That said, I take 2 flip flops - my faves which are totally useless if they get wet - how good is that for the beach, eh? - but they're so comfy! (made out of yoga mats - but you can't get them wet.) And an all purpose pair that go with everything! Seriously, they're flip flops! Are we actually talking about matching the ensemble? We're off to the capital of casual ... let's keep it that way! You know?

Boys have it easy. No matter how long, they can survive on 3 pairs of underwear (they don't have to factor in bras ...). Mon, Tues, Wed - turn them inside out - Thur, Fri, Sat. Sun, go commando while you rinse them in relatively clean water .... repeat!

And ask Irie Andy about his trip to a fancy pants AI and what he did for "pants" at the AI "dress for dinner" resto! It puts it all in perspective!

"UNPACKING list that counts"? I've been home almost two weeks and haven't entirely unpacked--the suitcase sits on the floor, a souvenir of the trip.
