Who makes a determined effort to travel light? And why? Interesting questions. After five years of traveling like this and three years of blogging about it I have a few observations. First, what a resourceful lot. There's hardly a travel question one of us hasn't considered (witness the travel plunger thread). And there's almost no question, once posed, that we won't comment on. Creative, inquisitive. Probably boring at dinner parties too, unless we have the sense to talk of something besides our travel proclivities. It's fine to weigh your underwear. I salute you for it. Just don't expect normal people to.
