I’ve been packing my suitcase. It’s the size that I can carry on along with Miss Anneliese. After spending several hours packing and repacking I have decided, it is simply not big enough!
In this day of baggage limits I find that a normal person cannot pack for a trip within the “rules”. I finally got out my packable space bags and put everything in those. Now I have my outfits in them with the hopes that they don’t pop mid-air. Should that occur, I’m totally screwed! Imagine the mess my 15 year old suitcase will be!
Yeah, my suitcase is 15 years old. It is also nothing very special either. One day I was in K-Mart and I saw this suitcase with a nice print on it. It cost me all of $12.99! And it has a handle and wheels, which after 15 years of being brutalized by travel, still work. I love this suitcase and when it finally falls apart, I will be extremely sad.
I also packed Anneliese’s little soft sided carrier. The back has a pocket for her things and I put in her little panties, her pads and some bones and crunchies. Now Arnie sits next to the bag looking longingly at the back pocket!
I took Anneliese to Weight Watchers on Wednesday. I wanted to desensitize her to large, noisy crowds. Well, she did just great! In fact she only barked once, never shook and seemed to enjoy the activity around her. Her little panties were a real hit!
Well, back to packing and organizing. Something I simply am not good at. Oh well, somehow we’ll make it over and hopefully so will my clothes.
I am pretty at packing, but I tend to pack too light and find I need more once I get there. I’m sure you’ll do better than I would. Any chance I would fit in there as well? Love YOU, Mel
Are those space bags the things you fill and then suck all the air out of them? I guess if they popped in a confined space they would still stay compressed… I’m thinking… or NOT! I hope they don’t!
After all these years, I’m SURE you know what to bring 🙂
How are you going to come home then with goodies? 😉 You’ll have to ship things?
