To Take 2013

Washington, D.C., July 4th, 2013.  In a few days, my home will start to  be populated with about 14 different  stations, each one to contain the contents  of one of the 14 or so containers, boxes, storage units, etc. that will accompany us on our trip.  Here is our to-take list for this year, which is simply last year's minus the items from last year,   plus the new items for this year, of which there are few.  The most difficult thing about packing for a trip like this is deciding which heavy-duty winter clothes to take when the temperature outside is 95 degrees.  My guess is that 98% of the items on this list will eventually go with us, as I gladly toss things aside when I am in the process of packing.  The factors I use to determine whether I  toss something aside are the probability of needing it; whether it would be needed  for an emergecny and whether I will be able to buy it somewhere en route.  If the answers are "Low, No, Yes", the item usually gets tossed .
