I hate myself for not knowing how to pack sensibly.  I stuff my bags with unnecessary things everytime I travel; be it  international or local out of town travels.  I was overbaggaged on my last trip Manila-Riyadh and it was very inconvenient.  I have to open my luggages and figure out what things to get rid of for I was not willing to pay the excess kilos.   Good, that my brother and mom are still waiting in the parking lot  and with instruction not to leave until I am cleared in the check in counter.  That saved my excess stuff!  It was too much hassle on my part, that  I told myself that I need to learn travelling light but oftentimes, the urge to bring more than I should always prevailed.   A friend told that I should only pack the basic and necessary ones but my stubborness sometimes get me into trouble.

Next week I will be in an out of town trip with friends.  I am thinking of starting to pack early and decides on what to bring -only the essential ones.   I have to avoid the hassles!  I had enough of it.
