Backpacking Results


Worldcon was interesting.  Chicago was cool.  As six blocks east of mars suggested I hit up Giordano's- Delcioucious! And Portillo's twice-Yum.  And wiener circle-Crazy.   

The backpacking experiment was a success.  I packed the night before.  

Black loosing fitting capris
Jean skirt
Gap jogging pants-I wore to the airports and used as pajamas
One casual white shirt,
A long sleeve t-shirt
Orange casual shirt
Extra t-shirt that I didn't wear
underwear
And a laptop

I never touched the laptop.  In the future, I'll only take a laptop when I'm traveling alone.  I had to wear the long sleeve shirt twice since I didn't bring a jacket .

I had a long list of why traveling with just a small backpack was great, but I didn't want to bore you so I cut it short.
 
1.       We didn't have pull a roller bag on the train on the way to the hotel
2.       Didn't have to pull a roller bag for the half mile trek from the train to the hotel! 
3.       After we got home, I didn't have to sort through a mountain of clothes and sort the clean from the dirty.  Everything went into the dirty clothes hamper.

The bf doubted the back pack experiment.  but afterwards he told me it was a good idea and that I was right.  I love being told that I'm right.
