In an effort to conserve space there are things that will not go to Mexico. Though I am sure that I could still do with less, one large bag if packed right can hold as much stuff as one can carry. My one large bag, almost the size of a hockey bag is more than most people have in their closets in Mexico. If they have a closet? If I can make it two weeks living out of a bag then how necessary is the closet full of clothes I will leave behind.
So much is taken for granted in Canada, space and unlimited clothes options are a sample of what we think is normal. We travel on a bus for two day one full day and a full night then most of another day before we stop for sleep, showers, and a sit down meal. The luxuries of home will be left at the step of the bus. But the change in heart, mind and spirit will prove stronger than the need for the luxuries of home like: indoor plumbing, hot showers, and cable TV.
Each year I come to appreciate what I have, and what I could live without.
