I just finished up most of my packing for my trip to Rome this weekend, and since the carry-on restrictions are pretty tight (strictly ONE bag), I had to do some really light packing. I wanted to bring only my backpack and my camera, which is what I'm doing, but in order to get through security, I'll need my camera bag to be IN my backpack. And it takes up about half of the space. Which means I can't bring too much else. After packing in my clothes and stuff (I can't resist traveling without at least two books), I picked up my backpack and was pleasantly surprised at how light it is. This is going to have tremendous advantages--I can walk to the train station tomorrow without any pain, I can dart through the airport past those travelers who insist on lugging around two gigantic suitcases full of clothes they won't wear, and I won't have to ruminate for very long about what to wear each day.
This post has been an extreme excuse for me to procrastinate working on my Shakespeare midterm, which I want to finish before I leave for the weekend.
Look forward to plenty of pictures when I get back and the story of our adventures through the Eternal City.
Arrivederci, Cambridge, ciao, Roma!
