A Blog About Traveling, Food and Fun
So today I packed my suitcase! I was able to get everything in my carry-on. 3 pairs of shoes, a dress, 6 tops, 4 bottoms, a sweater, pjs, and undergarments. And 2 scarves. I have included pictures of my final clothing picks and my packing! Everything fit!!!
So . . . . Today I tried on every combination of outfits trying to wean things down. I got rid of a couple things, but I still need to edit a bit further! I am struggling with this, but my math mind has made charts of what goes with what and I should be able to wean things down! Keep an eye out for my final picks!
Kendyl (my daughter who will be 21 next week) and I had a mother-daughter spa day today and got our nails, toenails and brows done! We haven’t done that in years!! It was a wonderful time!
I cannot believe that ONE WEEK from RIGHT NOW, I will be on my way to Paris! The culmination of 4 years of dreaming!
It is time to start narrowing down my wardrobe choices for our trip to Europe in less than 2 weeks! Some of my friends think I’m crazy to do this carryon only but I am determined to do so!
I have taken pictures of the items I WANT to take but I plan to remove at least one top and possibly the violet blazer. And I may change up the shoes a bit. I just got the white shoes and they might not be broken in by then. We shall see. Stay tuned!
I figure with 4 bottoms and 7 tops I will have more than enough outfits! Plus my favorite dress! I can also switch things up with a blazer and/or a scarf!
So what do you all think? Any suggestions or ideas? How do YOU pick your travel wardrobe?
T-minus-17 days until we leave! On May 9, my oldest son, Seth, and I will be flying to Paris to begin our European Adventure! We will be visiting Paris, London, The West Midlands (we have family there), and Dublin over the course of 18 days! Over the past 3 years I have been gathering points via various credit cards in preparation for this trip. We are waiting to hear from British Airways as to whether we will be able to upgrade our trans-Atlantic flights for more comfort. Fingers crossed!
Our travel agent, Rick Strong of Results! Travel has been invaluable in arranging everything, including airport transfers, skip the line passes for major attractions, hotels, air and trains. I have been using Visit A City, a wonderful website recommended by my friend Kathy, to plan our sightseeing. I always like to leave at least one day for spontaneous adventures in each destination. Stay tuned for pictures and reports of our escapades, and especially the delicious food and wine we will experience!
We both plan to travel carry-on only, so I am now in the process of deciding on my travel wardrobe. Everything needs to go with everything else to expand my options. I’ve always traveled this way, but never for this long a period of time! Check back for pictures of my final packing to see if I make it!
Thanks for checking in and keep stopping back, especially as we get closer to our trip! A bientot!
