Leavin' on a Jet Plane

This morning I get to indulge what my grandma called my "wander lust" and head to Peoria, IL. If you're in the area, I'm speaking to Moms in the Light tomorrow morning, and I'd love to meet you.

I'm trying to pack in a carry on these days since the airlines have gotten so persnickity and are charging for checking bags. When I'm traveling for personal reasons, I'm pretty good at packing light. For some reason, though, when I'm traveling to speak, I want to pack the biggest bag possible with everything you can think of. Not good.

Are you a light packer or everything and the kitchen sink packer?
