Long Term Packing is part of The Adios Puerto Rico, Hola España Trip Report. Read TPOL in Madrid: Why A Second Residency?
I used to live by the mantra – Take 1/2 the Clothes, Twice the Money (now updated to Take 1/4 of the Clothes, 1/2 the Money). I was a bit terrified of packing my suitcase. Since I was staying in Madrid for over a month, I knew I had to bring more than toilet paper and water.
