I travel light. This trip is a luxurious trip for baggage -- I checked a bag. A whole checked bag! Huge. I was, of course, partially anticipating it getting lost. Because that is the way my life goes. Also I once did a review of how many times my luggage had gotten lost in the previous 5 years of travel... It was 19.6% of the time. Which is why I avoid checked luggage.
Anyway. Light packing. So I generally carry 2 pairs of shoes: One work (nicer) and one for casual walking (sneaker, running shoe, something like that). This trip I went NUTS. I packed All Of These.

Birkenstock Mary Janes for the first day of any class (to make them think I wear invisible forgettable shoes every day), then Keen Mary Janes the rest of the week to avoid killing my feet. Colorful sneakers to exercise in. Brown Keen sneakers on the plane and generally for walking. And Keen sandles for the walking about town in my skort. Whew!
I'm sure I sacrificed quite a bit of something (clothes? Food bars?) to bring all of these. But so far I have Worn Them All. Often several in a day if I can manage it.
