We have some upcoming trips. I was telling Dan today that SOME day I’d like a trip that isn’t requiring extra “stuff”. Our first upcoming trip requires me to bring my oboe and reeds (but I will not bring my reed equipment because we are doing carryon). The next requires a good amount of warm clothing because we are heading to a very cold spot of the US. The final requires trekking poles and walking “stuff”. Yes, another walking holiday!
I dare not complain. And yet I think I just did!
But really … one of these days I’d love a trip with no “extras”.
Maybe.
The first trip is only one week long. Actually eight days and seven nights. When we pack for our long trips we really pack one week’s worth of clothing — as I’ve mentioned in the past, no one cares if you repeat an outfit! In fact, no one notices! So how funny that this short trip includes about the same amount of clothing and, actually, more underwear since we won’t be doing any washing.
With three upcoming trips I have a difficult time keeping things straight. Good thing our plane tickets will get me on the correct plane to the correct city.
Or at least one hopes so. (I always marvel at those stories you read about how someone ends up in the wrong place … how did they even manage to get on the plane?!)
Okay. That’s it from me. I just thought I’d better liven up this site a bit. HAH!
Here … have a photo … one I’ve shared on my photography site, but hey, it’s from our Portugal walk so why not?
I’m already working on three different cruise packing lists. A fall leaf peeping trip to Canada, a 4 day Disney cruise with grandson, and three 14 day back-2-back cruises in Western Europe. The first two will be carry-on only, the biggie won’t be.
Sounds like fun!
If we aren’t doing a “walking holiday” we always do carry on only (I think the rule that doesn’t allow trekking poles in carry on is silly, but I’m not about to argue with the TSA folks!). Even did it for as long as 6 or 7 weeks. But we just pack one week’s worth of clothing and do laundry. I’m guessing a cruise might require fancier clothing than we usually. need.
