Different people have different preference when it comes to packing for travelling.
Some prefer to pack lite (keep it minimum and simple) and some others prefer to pack with tons of "what if" questions.
Me ? I prefer to pack lite, but i don't want to look like a shabby homeless guy, i want to look normal and blend in with my destination. (Well, have seen some backpacker "bule" who are travelling really light, probably keep only 1-2 shirts... and look like homeless people).
Well, however, when i go to unfamiliar destination, I prefer to pack with tons of "WHAT IF" questions. Just like the story from previous post - I actually filled out only half of the carrier, but, knowing that we were gonna stay over the sea, I think i need to prepare well (see here for where the puppy and the bear stayed : http://wismaapung.wordpress.com/ )

Pardon me for not summarizing - am away for travelling, and of course, bringing my yellow carrier.... *switching my brain off now :) *
