Are you still planning on carrying around full travel books in your backpack? I've taken to lighten my load on trips by selectively trimming my books. My honeymoon to Japan, I wasn't going anywhere near northern Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, or Kyushu, so I basically ripped out the last third of the book. I still had the comprehensive info about the regions I was visiting, but kept about 200-300 pages out of my backpack. Then, late in the trip, when we were on our way back to Tokyo, out came everything but Tokyo! Suddenly, I'm carrying around a nice svelte booklet.
