Packing Light

How the hell do you pack for a whole year? I'm only capable of packing for like 5-day increments, so I'm basically just taking what I would normally need and then multiplying it by 5. I feel like a prima donna with all this stuff though. Today I just bought a new pair of dress shoes, a rain slicker, and an umbrella. The savvy traveler must be prepared for all eventualities. Black-tie affair during a gale, for example.

It is only now beginning to sink in that I'm leaving for a year to go to Japan. I'm very excited, though, even though the homesickness is already beginning to sink in.
