good move. I keep renewing my passport only because now it's the only way to prove my identity to fly domestically. It's a joke. These people are insane. I went through all the 'real i.d." bullshit already yeas ago but now it's a hassle.
What are you packing? That's the hardest part of traveling....you just don't know what the weather will be like. I'm a serious over-packer but I could probably fit everything I actually wear into a backpack the way I did when I was young. I really miss those days.
