So I did it. I started packing.
I made a rapid fire list this morning and now my bedroom appears to have been hit by a hurricane. As promised, here’s the first take of what’s going in. Remember I’m planning for TWO bags: 1 medium suitcase and 1 large backpack. I’m flying with United so that means one 50lb bag (max 62″) flies free.
This girl can totally relate to my packing hell… many kudos to her, she’s throwing all in ONE bag! I haven’t reached this point just yet but I assure you that it will be here soon: “I’d rather go naked than make another change.”

Piece of cake, right? Excessive paring down and some decision making tomorrow. Four days to go!


Glad that the pashmina at least gets in, as well–I cannot imagine you voyaging across the ocean without it!
