As a newcomer to the group and have been overwhelmed by the incredible, insightful postings and responses to inquiries. As a result of my asking about 'travelling light' I received tons of helpful advice. I may even have identified my major problem with 'travelling heavy' ... it's the planning piece. I simply do not carve sufficient planning and practice-packing time out of my hectic, pre-trip work schedule. A change is in order. My challenge to me will be to put your advice in to practice and to travel to Europe this summer with a small roll-aboard (for checking) and another small carry-on.

Is Tilley the only Canadian equivalent to Eagle Creek, LL Bean, etc. for functional, light-weight travel clothing, organizers, etc.?

Thanks again.
