My jaw dropped to the floor as I pulled my van up to her driveway, she was standing there with 4 large suitcases – the kind that you take when you’re trying to take everything you own when you’re moving to a new country or something. I put the van in park and gave my single duffel a somewhat-shameful glance in the rear-view mirror before cranking the window down, “Whoa, what happened to packing light?”
“This is light,” she somewhat snapped, “I’ve followed your orders and brought shoes, clothes, and neccessities.”
“We’ll only be gone for two weeks, how many pairs of shoes, jeans, and t-shirts does one need?” Suddenly, my plan to hike and camp in the mountains for a couple nights on the trip no longer seemed possible, way to go, inviting your only female friend along even though her personality is the except opposite of yours.
“Who said I’ll be wearing jeans and t-shirts?”
Written for Six Sentence Story. The prompt is “Light”.
This is Another Story 
Necessity is in the eye of the beholder. I hope those opposite personalities have an enjoyable vacation.

The older I get the more I pack like my mother did and the less I apologize for it! Although should I want to torture myself with overnight hikes for some unknown reason, I would certainly pare it down as much as possible.

😄😄😄 Oh, I think we all have our little quirks like looking at an overnight stay in the wilderness as fun. Me, on the other hand, hate packing. It’s why I love car trips, I don’t need to stuff everything into a suitcase.

You can never judge the difference between how much to pack for two weeks or even two months … It’s that funny
