How much luggage space do you think you could have gotten away with?

I'll get rid of all my toiletries... cept for a small tube of toothpaste and tooth brush... the rest I can buy travel size when needed, then throw away after. I had like 5 or six pair of underware and socks... probably 3 pair of each is good... most hotels have washing machines... probably still take my laptop... so I can empty my camera of pictures, and stay connected. I had extra shirts for people in Indy, had a gift for Kat's boss... a gift for a friend in Ohio... way too much shit. when I left Ohio after Indy... I shipped a bunch of shit... I was able to collapse the bags back down to the normal size... it was nice. |

 Oh btw,last I knew,you could ship bags with Greyhound for cheap and just pick them up at the bus terminal thus avoiding sending your belongs to someone's house you don't know very well. |

I usually pack a duffel, but I don't need much clothes anyway. Couple pair of jeans, underwear and t-shirts for a week, and socks. What I do pack a lot of is thermals and crap. I'll never be caught without cold weather stuff again, even if it's the bare minimum.

well I was really surprised I wasn't in more pain... really I wasn't in any... the only day that was really hard was the one from AR to Rae's in FL... 904 miles in 14 hrs... 5 hrs of which was riding in Ike and a torrential downpour.
I slept forever the next day! I seriously could have gone for weeks on end riding |
