Bags packed and ready to go

So here's the lowdown on traveling light. I've got

1. One bag of cold weather gear (sweaters, jackets and so on)


2. One bag of casual clothing


3. One suitcase of work clothes


4. Two briefcases with important paperwork


5. One backpack with assorted computer gear

So 6 bags to last me 4 months. It didn't take too long to pack the car and everything fits in the trunk. When I was originally planning, I was looking at taking art and kitchen stuff to make my apartment feel more like home. My wife kept me right on track by telling me

"You will eat off of paper plates and miss us so you focus on moving us up there."

She's right, it helps to have someone keep you focused on the prize.
