Starting to pack...

We are getting ready to go on a big caravanning trip up to the Top End of Australia.  This week, we've been slowly thinking about what to take, sorting, cleaning, washing and now, starting to pack.  We are no where near ready and I will probably rue the fact that I didn't get my act into gear sooner...  In these quieter moments, I've been thinking about the "stuff" that defines us.  Paring back our belongings and deciding what is essential and what we can leave behind is a process in itself. Perhaps I am being too philosophical and I just need to get going and pack!
