Whenever, wherever

Ok, so Im leaving for Colombia in a few days...wow! Work has been so busy that I haven't even had a second to sit down and think about it until this weekend. I will be first going to Bogota to take care of some visa business, then to Cali (as in the Cali Drug Cartel, but it got broken up a while ago) for a work conference, and then to the beautiful and historic Cartagena for some R&R. The climate across these cities is rather different, which to an overpacker like myself means bad news, especially since the airlines have placed a lower weight limit. Besides, my travel buddy Meg is not going with me this time, which means I have to be extra smart when packing for this trip since Meg's "small, but everything you could possibly need" backpack won't be there for me in time of emergency:). Anyways, let the packing begin...
