GOING TO EUROPE
People annoy me. When the people at work found out I was going on vacation to Europe, all I heard was bring me this and bring me that! WTF? I'm going on vacation with only two carry on bags and I get a fucking shopping list. I told them I was only taking one carry on. LOL Anyway, of course I expected this, so I didn't tell anyone except the boss I was going to Europe and told her to not tell anyone. But one week before departure she had sudden diarrhea of the mouth and told a colleague, who then told everyone. I was pissed. That's when I told everyone that I was only taking a carry on bag and that I wouldn't have room for any shit except for what I planned to get MYSELF! I never saw a bunch of uglier mugs in my life. They were all pissed off at me. "So why do you only have to take one carry on?" a couple people had the balls to ask. "Because, I have to be the one shlepping shit around up and down stairs and on the trains and buses ALONE WITHOUT ANY HELP AND IT'S TIRING". It shut them up. But they are all asses. I wouldn't dream of asking someone to shlep shit back for me. When someone asks, I'll say earrings or something as small or flat (like a scarf) as possible and only if they're asking. Not shit like books, posters, clothes, shoes and ceramics which I've been asked for.
Some people have no shame. What can I say. I was raised too prim and properly. I must really seem abby normal to these country folk.
It's just too much trouble carrying large suitcases on and off the Eurail system, coaches, airplane stairs etc. One small little lady with carry ons packed to the max full of Italian shoes and hand bags, pashminas and cool Italian sunglasses. How would I ever fit anything else in them? I ended up getting all the women a tube of some discontinued turquoise green mascara I found at a random drugstore for almost two bucks each. LOL They'll never know that's it's the Italian equivalent of Bonnie Bell. LOL LOL Well they thought it was cool and that was that. I got luke warm thanks from half of them and the other half were truly excited about it and used it right away.

I once bought my brother a decorated pocket knife from Toledo (Spain) but he complained that I didn't buy a practical knife. The one I bought was encrusted with small faux jewels -- I thought it was neato, but he didn't.
I can understand your desire to travel light. Sometimes my problem is I have a tendency to buy too much junk *LOL*
