So, the next furry con is coming up (Golden Leaves Con) and I'm
hella stressed about packing.

I like to travel with minimum luggage, so I don't have to
haul around several kilograms.
(I'm going by train, of course).
Sure, some things can be bought
at the destination, but that 1) might be more expensive and
2) I either need to carry everything back or toss it, which
is a waste of resources and/or money. Especially when I think
about those small cosmetics containers with toothpaste, shampoo,
and stuff.

Only from volume, clothing takes up a lot. Which is why I want
to take as little as possible. Which mostly results in me taking
only one pair of shoes. Although two would be more appropriate
sometimes. Anyway, the "cosmetics" bag alone is 1.4 kilograms.
(Including the toothbrush, electric shaver, soap, etc.)

And then there's this thing "did I pack everything I need".
Most worrying are things you can't buy at the destination
(e.g. medical supplies).
Or maybe those are just "proxy worries" for the con itself.
I don't know myself enough to assess that.

Anyway, I'm actually looking forward to the con, and hope I
can "switch off" my worries to actually enjoy it.

PS: You know this "ohhh, wait, let me open the bag again and
check if I packed that specific thing"?
