[/B] If you find yourself at an airport, you’ll likely notice two types of travelers. There’s the person struggling with the overstuffed suitcase (or three) right alongside the traveler handling little more than a light duffel. Of course, they might be heading to totally different destinations for totally different lengths of time and under totally different circumstances, but it’s clear that a person’s packing style — whether they pack light or pack heavy — is a distinctive personality trait. It turns out that how much we pack has more to do with our personal travel experiences, including our destination, luggage type, and even social standards. Packing, whether it be for a weekend trip or a two-week vacation, is a highly personal act and can create a fair amount of pressure. We’re expected to be effective and efficient travelers who can determine the most important items we need for the entire length of time we’re away from home. I personally find comfort in bringing more than I need, just in case. [/QUOTE]
