learning to travel

if by "roughing it" you mean bringing a hat instead of an umbrella, scented lotion instead of perfume, only one pair of trainers and one pair of flip flops for whatever weather might arise, dumping benedryl and excedrin into the bag instead of bringing actual bottles, bringing a scarf to double as a pillow, packing a dinky ikea blanket for when we're sleeping on the deck overnight on the ways between italy and greece, downloading extra songs and tv shows from itunes onto the ipod the night before for entertainment purposes on long spurts of travel in case the one book packed is finished and all future bookstores are in foreign languages, and using the logic that if you're only bringing one small bag and your straightner and laura mercier makeup can still fit then it's ok to bring those too.....then yes, yes we are roughing it.

buon viaggio!
