Travel Light - Portland, OR

Earlier this month, John and I took a six-day trip to Portland, OR. It is very easy for me to travel light for weekend and long-weekend trip, but I challenged myself to travel as light as possible.

Moving House

John and I moved house this month. In spite of our lifestyle and efforts to reduce our possessions, the process was still difficult. For some, parting with possessions and/or moving is emotionally trying, but for me, these processes are physically difficult.

We had sold our dining room set and other items in anticipation of an aborted move last March.
We packed a three-bedroom townhouse ourselves.
We moved over the course of 2-3 days, using our cars and a 10' moving truck.
We needed three car trips and two van trips to move everything.
