Blood, sweat and tears

Is what I go thru to post. I ain't a writer. But, I am obsessive (sometimes). So, about Lizzy's 11#'s. That caused me to tear apart my pack and analyze it. I have 2 slacks, 1 skirt, 3 short sleeve, 2 long sleeve tops, 1 lightweight cardigan and 1 pullover jacket and pajamas. This all weights 5#. My total pack with some water weights 19#. I have everything that's on the list plus a camera in a case with a charger and computer cord. Oh, I have sandals and a pair of regular shoes (the sandals look really cute with the skirt). My sleeping bag is 1.5# of the weight and my pillow is non-negotiable.

I'm still in training. We'll see if the 19 holds or things start getting pulled out. But as near as I can tell, the only "extras" I have are the skirt and a top and the regular shoes. I have 2 slacks but that's in lieu of l long/1 short pants. And it says I can have 1-2 long and 1-2short sleeve so I've chosen 2 long/2 short. That can't be more than 1# extra.

Note....in addition to the above slacks & tops, I have the "Camino" slack/top that I will walk in.
My paper/pen/spanish translation book will be in the pocket of my camino pants.

Ok, as Rog would say "You've beat it to death Rose. Quit" So buenos noches.

Mine is getting heavier, so don't sweat it. I'm at 12#"s now.
And I still don't have my sandals in yet.
