Away for the Weekend

It is hard to pack lightly when all you have is a bag you could feasibly fit into--some dismemberment may apply. Packing for just a short weekend in the city, you end up with an unwieldy thing to tote around until you can leave it at the hotel. Thank the Gods it has wheels. It sits in a corner, a capsule of  convenience. You hardly think about it unless you need a spare towel, your nail clippers, or when you bought that large, expensive thing from a vender at the con that you really don't need and now need to figure how to carry back home. It won't fit, expanded zippers unzipped or no. At the end of the weekend though, you can be grateful you won't have to wary about packing away what happened Saturday night or the great time you had meeting your idols.
