Who doesn’t want options, when it comes to starting out? Who doesn’t want options when it comes to starting over?

European vacation on the horizon?
Are you making summer plans? Is Europe in your future?
Packing light takes planning – and practice. For 20 years I crossed the Atlantic on a regular basis for business and pleasure. Mostly, I traveled to France, but also Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. I learned to pack as well for Paris [...]
