Great job! You've been chosen for this experience! You worked hard at determining importance - of finding the main items that were most important to you. But you were also using an important thinking strategy that active readers use:

determining importance.

You did it by thinking and by choosing what you felt was most important for your time away. If you removed all the unimportant items, carefully chose, and can justify your choices, you were successful.

This is something to keep in mind when you are reading - finding the main idea is about thinking through the text to figure out what you want to take away from it. It is about deciding what information you think should be left behind and what information should be "brought on the journey".
