Re: rental cars. Take a picture incl license plates. Likewise going to airport parking or street parking, from all sides, incl. numbers, street signs etc. For decluttering, I am pretty near minimalism but I am suffering trying to get rid of a $3 curtain rod. I do not need it. I did not know I had it. But my brain is saying it is a perfectly good rod, I might need it someday, money does not grow on trees etc. I got rid of a mop by learning it against a pole with a free sign. A sack of OK but not great clothing to a woman who collects for homeless. A very nice suitcase to a young staff person at the camp I volunteer at. I got rid of several bags of decent clothes to our thrift shop. I am packing for Ryanair with tiny luggage requirements. Lots will be stuffed in pockets. I am going to Lourdes and have to figure out how to bring several large bottles of holy water back. Have paid for extra bag on Ryanair.
