Travel-FEATHER-light Challenge!

Planning for our trip to Hawai'i.

Official COUNTDOWN: we leave in FIFTEEN DAYS.

My objective: to pack super-stealth-feather-light.

We will be camping, hiking and traveling by foot for most of the trip and we are spending 10 whole days on the islands AND I am a chronic over packer. (My Burning Man kit this past summer was RIDICULOUS. I ended up wearing only two outfits and my vintage fur coat the majority of the week.) The actual problem: I have an eclectic style and a wardrobe to match with many prized vintage pieces that I have gathered. I don't tend to incorporate these pieces in my daily-garb between the work and school grind. I tend to dress more simply and having worked in the service industry for...awhile...my day-to-day wardrobe consists of a lot of blacks and grays. SO, for my far-out-vacations, I tend to let loose, letting my inner boho, dharma bum, free spirit out. As an artist, it is difficult to predict my mood and how I will want to express myself.

Gosh, this is hard!

SO, I am trying my darndest to pack ONLY what I need, the BARE MINIMUM, and what I will actually wear. I have taken a peek at some traveling tips online from those ladies who are award-winning-minimalists and I am in awe.

Wish me luck!
