As I prepare for my first trip of the summer, and first time to leave Texas in almost two years, I am realizing that my lack of travel has more than just an impact on my wanderlust-y spirit. I have realized how completely unprepared I am for short weekend trips. I mean, when I lived abroad trips were generally at least week, and when they were shorter I shared a bag with a family member. Now, though, this is not the case, and as I began my packing process the only non-duffle bag that doesn't say, "bye I'm leaving for at least a month," is my high school soccer bag...While my pink underarm soccer bag worked great for carting my soccer gear five days a week in high school, I would like to think that I have outgrown it at this point. So, my wish list's number one item has out of necessity become the perfect weekender bag.
