I've done three cross-country trips and every time I've learned that I can live with less and left. During my last move, I left the house with only two suitcases of stuff -- most of that electronics and basic clothing. The less I have the happier I seem to be. No kidding.

I always feel encouraged after reading simple organized life. When traveling, I am into living the experience as well and not thinking about stuff to take along or take care of.

What I normally do miss is my own bed! Something about returning home to ones own bed...! Being away is good way to realize what few possessions we "really" need or want. Now if I can just convince the rest of the family! When I travel, the appeal of a hotel to me is there is no clutter!

If that's true, I'm on a fast downhill slide.LOL! I'll never be a minimalist, but would certainly be happy to live a lot lighter. Like Charley mentioned, it's difficult in a multi-person home.
