No, you're not. Not at all. Those are all elegant bags, especially the kelly (natch).Kelly, Dalvy, and Plume are my favorites!!! Don't have a Plume yet. I love the simple, classic lines. I AM BORING!!

You made me laugh so hard! Foam rollers for the hair would be so much more reasonable. A foam roller is meant to stretch out muscles and "roll out" knots in the body. I ran ultramarathons (50K, 50 miles, 100K) until a few years ago, so my muscles took a huge beating. It took up quite a bit of room in my suitcase.
My husband is a fan of napping, while I have a hard time falling asleep in general. He can close his eyes and fall asleep at any time and anywhere. While he is napping, I use the time to go on a run. It is a nice way to explore cities in a different way while we are traveling. I can scout out restaurants and shops (H!), check out landmarks that we are not planning to visit and people watch like crazy. It is funny because tourists always ask me for directions, assuming that I am a local. Sometimes I have to take precautions - when we were in Turkey my husband insisted that I run in pants (not shorts) since I was already sticking out by running, which is not a normal activity there. I ran a lot in Gezi park (which is tiny!). Running is much easier in Europe.
I agree with you. I find packing stressful. To eliminate buying unneeded clothing, I have learned that I need to pack several comfortable and cute flats (my tired feet do better if I wear a different style from day to day) and thin layers and scarves that I can take on and off easily and store in my bag when walking outside and then coming indoors.
The hardest thing for me to pack is always toiletries. This always takes forever. There is so much that is needed every day! I decided to permanently keep one set of everything in a travel toiletry suitcase. This works best for cheaper items though, I can't justify letting my nicer creams or cosmetic items expire sitting in a bag.
Congratulations! These are amazing in real life!! I wanted to get them but the lady who came in 10 minutes before me bought the last pair here [emoji24][emoji24] truly heartbroken.
Speaking of travels, was there ever a scarf made with a theme related to Florence, Italy? I have never found one. I know there are two (I believe) about Venice.
You have always been cool. You just didn't know it. [emoji41]
Photos photos !! [emoji1][emoji1]very cool you are. [emoji1]
Hello cafe!
I only recently started reading this thread. Your discussion about packing made me smile wide!
I hate packing. I want to be rational and travel light, but since I spend most of my life wearing professional white traveling is a time to enjoy my nice things. Especially when I attend conferences. Here is the pic I took for my SO before heading back home. Not all of it was clothing, there was a lot of paper as well (books and notes and brochures...). Crazy me went sightseeing at a stopover on the way like this
.
I even went into the local H that way. I got service, but also "THE look".
I just love this blog entry:

My DH is a fan of napping, too. Stash him in a noisy store or quiet hotel lobby, he's happily nodding off. It's good for allowing me to wander around stores b/c o/w he might be impatient. When he gets that way, buying him a nice tie works.
I get chilled and overheated easily. I must have reptile genes in my heritage because the temp of the environment has such an influence on me. This is why I need many layers and a light hat like a beret or cap. And a fan for when I get overheated and Kleenex to mop face when I get really overheated.
I've discovered the charm of the travel channel on tv as an alternative to packing.
Your athletic prowess and sense of adventure while running is amazing.

Oh my. I wouldn't log that backpack around an airport, even less around a city while sightseeing!! Wow!

Wow, that is a very impressive backpack. You must be very strong!
The blog is very cute. I can definitely identify with the one about getting distracted trying on the clothes that you forgot you had.

It is essential to find a place to stash our husbands every now and then! Good thing you found a strategy that works.
I am exactly the same with temperature, I always think in my mind, "I am a cold blooded woman!") [emoji6]
The travel chanel as an alternative, that is really funny!
I found these two cute sets of pics from Istanbul of slices of life that I ran by.
This guy was a salesman in a little shop and wanted to show off when he saw me running by. It was cute!
Girl, I TOTALLY agree!
On vacations, I pre-negotiate a day apart if I can swing it. DBF usually has to catch up with work, so I find him a brew pub or bar near where I want to shop and check in on him every couple of hours, meet up for lunch/drink etc.
He loathes shopping, so I try not to inflict it upon him unless absolutely necessary.
