Solo Traveler: Packing Tips
In the last column I talked about traveling light, taking one carry-on suitcase and a large purse-like bag for electronics. That sounds fine and dandy, but in reality, how do you pack everything you need for a month (or six) in two small carry-on bags?
It might help to take a look at what constitutes “need.” We’re familiar with the travel-sized packages of lotion, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste. Unfortunately, the TSA has a limit on the amount of solids, pastes, and creams that can be carried onboard.

How the Hen House Turns: Turkey and Bobbi Goose … A Hint of Wildness
Here’s another exploration of what it means to be wild. Take Turkey (Little Bear), for example. She’s now about 11 years old, raised by two adoptive loving mothers—both White Silkie hens in our small community of geese, ducks, bird-sitting dogs, and a human providing semi-reliable afternoon treats of apple cores and honeydew melon rinds.
I wouldn’t call her wild, except when she trapped and nearly killed a marauding crow, and when she decides she doesn’t Read More
