When I traveled in times of yore, I traipsed through Europe with one pair of shoes for a month. I have no idea what they were, but I know they weren’t tennis shoes because I didn’t own any.
For a few days in sunny SoCal, I have four pair of shoes. Needless necessity as we need beach shoes, wedding shoes, walking shoes, and a frivolous pair. I only packed them because I had room in my suitcase. If this were a serious month-long mission I probably wouldn’t have packed any and just bought a pair if I needed them when I got here.
It’s interesting to look at what we think we need when we’re on the road. In reality, we need nothing but the clothes on our back, a water bottle, and a credit card. I’ll take comfort in that as I repack the mess I threw in my bag, knowing it’s all fluff.
My fluff and I shall be touring the area today.
I sit here at O’Reillys in Lamington NP Queensland ready fur a day long hike after attending a wedding in the Gold Coast hinterland. And I can totally relate to your shoe dilemma !! Wedding, hiking, beach, and shopping! I🤗💕
