The key to travel

Being fit.

Travel, at least the way I seem to do it, involves a lot of walking, standing, lifting and carrying.  If you're not prepared physically to handle that aspect of the journey, everything is more difficult.

If you've got a trip coming up, do yourself a favor and invest in some hand weights, and a good pair of walking shoes.  And use them.  You will be happier, in so many ways...

New jobs, the shopping fast, and Capsule Wardrobe Project 333

So the new work environment is "business casual", with jeans on Friday.  Piece of cake...

In honor of the Project 333 crew, but NOT in strict adherence with their guidelines, I've whittled down my wardrobe to the following 33 garments, which will be all that I wear for the months of June, July, and August.

Unlike Project 333, I'm going completely, wildly unlimited with accessories...

Outfit updates will follow! ... View the Post
