But, there are plenty of odd things that might come to good use.

“What advice can you give me about cutting down the contents of my backpack?” That’s the question that my wife, Nicky and I, are often asked by those about to go travelling.

Unpacking and packing constantly means one thing: Losing your #$%$%^ stuff.
