Ever since I was a middle school kid I have been making lists of clothes trying to come up with the magic combination of the most outfits with the fewest number of items. As an avid traveler and having packed my suitcase at the last minute dozens of times I have come to a place where I think I finally have a handle on it. This time it's an eleven day trip, two days on a train, three days of sightseeing, six days of networking and attending a far flung conference. And...so far, I think I nailed it.
