May 2023​: Not to brag but: our lightest bag yet.

You don't need much to walk the coastal path. We wash the important stuff at night, drape it over the radiators, and by morning it's warm and dry. I’m thinking we’re at pretty impressive "bare minimum".

Wearing: usually I wear my hiking boots to free up luggage space but they're just too bulky on the plane.

We were surprised to learn that the sun in southwest England in May can BURN. Hence, sunscreen this year.

Packing: pants, shirt, boots, socks, raincoat, nightgown, undies.

The older we get the more seriously we take bandaids and ibuprofen.

Rolled up vacuum seal bags to bring dirty laundry home. Plastic bags to pack lunches and keep things dry in our (non waterproof) backpacks.

It all fits in half of the suitcase. Remembered at last minute to add my winter headband. Also decided to swim this year (maybe) so added swimsuit and towel.
