What do you take on a two-day road trip? I mean, packing light is sort of the point of a road trip, isn't it? If you have to pack at all? Jump in the car (preferably a convertible), some cash in your wallet, a baseball cap, and you're off. It's not like a vacation, where you need different pairs of shoes, clothes for changing weather, several pairs of socks, toiletries beyond your toothbrush, a lint brush if your hosts have a cat ...Because I essentially live in two places nine months of the year, I've become an obsessively minimalist traveler. I don't even like lugging my laptop anymore. With cargo shorts, a good pair of walking shoes and two pair of tech-fabric travel underwear, you can be pretty minimalist. At least for five months out of the year.
Don't have a convertible, but I'm heading out anyway.
Madison, Evanston, the El, Wrigley Field, Milwaukee, 48 hours. Begins now.
