Packing

Wow!  This packing feels more like sorting through my life than sorting through my closet and dresser.  We've been instructed to pack light, and plan to wear each piece of clothing multiple times.  I'm not sure how to do that.  I've got my super light REI towel, guaranteed to absorb 8 times its weight in water and dry out in a few hours.  I've got my little packets of "personal tissue" and wet wipes, because the word is that you never know when you'll need these in eastern Europe.  I've got everything I can think of in small and light and easy-carry.

However, some of the important stuff is bulky, like my shoes (twelve-and-a-half, D) and my voltage converter.  I really wish I had room to take a fan (it helps me sleep through unfamiliar night noises), but instead I've downloaded a fan app to my smart-phone that sounds sort of fan-ish, and I'm giving it a try tonight.

As to the *really* important items, do I take one Bible or two?  How many other books will I have room for? ( I have 3 I want to read while flying.)  Can I fit one full change of clothes in my carry-on/back-pack, or should I try for two?  What about my Bulgaria-Serbia info notebook (as in a real, three-ring binder, not the electronic gadget):  should it be in the suitcase or in the carry-on?

Oh, and please, Lord, in the midst of all this, help me remember my passport and boarding passes.  When it comes to flying, you can get everything packed and ready, but without a ticket, it's no go.  And that's about more than airline travel; it's about salvation as well.  Think about it.
