What to Pack?

What would you take to Rome?

I am so excited that I will be able to share it with all of you via blog posts coming during the time I am in Italy.

But first, I have to get there. The trip is going to involve planes, trains and... READ MORE

I’m excited for our vacation. I’m happy about all... READ MORE

I subscribe to the theory that the job of packing expands to fill the time available for it. My general approach was to wait until, say, an hour before we had to leave for the airport, and then start throwing things in a bag. It worked pretty well.

Until we had kids, that... READ MORE
