packing to go away

Amuseme

I'm going to NYC this weekend and to LA in two weeks. I love clothes and accessories so packing can be a project. I'm trying to simplify by bringing mostly black & white clothes to LA. I have two piles in my room - one for each trip and they are mounting. This is a task that requires my critical thinking skills!!!!

Any packing tips?

Roll your clothes into tight bundles/rolls and you'll (1) have more room and (2) not have to deal terribly with wrinkles! Think about how many outfits you REALLY need and what the weather might bring. Use your bed or like place to lay out everything you WANT to bring and then pick what you really NEED to bring. It's hard, but it works!

Roll your clothes...you can fit more into a case that way

Follow the Duchess of Windor's advice

Pack half as much
Take twice as much money

I've always heard you only need two pair of shoes - the ones on your feet and one extra pair. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Of course, it was a man doing the telling.

think dresses, one item and you're done! You can always pack an extra couple so you have choices.

Something you can hand wash in the hotel sink that will easily dry overnight.

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Quick, before the evil MONday gets here!  Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That.  Sadly.  But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top.  I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
