Maybe I Should Have Brought More

I read this morning that Mariah Carey required twenty pieces of luggage for a three day jaunt to England. Before I ask the obvious question, let me show you what we brought along for our one year stay in NYC:


Now for a shot of what we left behind:


And now for the obvious question: How in the world does one fill twenty suitcases for a three day trip? Is that a choice of fifteen outfits for each day? A suitcase full of money? Three suitcases worth of shoe choices?

And more importantly, don't these people feel completely ridiculous? I mean, just how much stuff does one need to survive?

Oh, snap! I forgot my suitcase full of handbags!

You make me laugh everyday! Where does this amazing wit come from?

It's no wonder you and Kristin get along so well: You are beyond a packing minimalist.

It is so funny how Kristin always repacks my bags and takes out 70% of what I put in.

Two weeks?

19 of the bags were full of double-sided tape to keep her clothes (sort of) on.

Oh good grief! And here I sit in a hotel room in Florida having brought a laptop bag (for obvious reasons) and one small carry on duffel (emphasis on "small") for a 4-day trip.

And I'm even planning on wearing completely clean clothes each day!
