kitchen Angst!

I know it may seem a bit soon to start packing for my trip when I don’t leave until next week, but I always do it this way. I start early, so I can really take the time to go through everything and decide which items I really need, and those I just think I want. I pack as light as possible so one: my bags aren’t heavy, and two: so I have room for all my purchases. I am going to be staying with my boyfriend, who wears the same size as me in most clothes, including shoes, so I don’t have to worry about packing a lot already, Plus I will have access to a washing machine. Done deal!!!

You should always remember when your traveling, you wont be seeing the same people every day, and you have to haul your bags wherever you go most of the time, wearing an outfit more than once is not a big deal!! Taking the right clothes is more important, than taking enough!! I always look for items I can mix and match, and that are comfortable! I want to look good, but I also want to be relaxed, If my clothes are too warm, or tight, or don’t fit well, I wont want to be in them all day while sightseeing. I don’t want to think about my pants while I’m walking the streets of old town, Zagreb!

I’m going for two weeks, and all I’m planning on taking 3 pair of pants, 6-7 shirts,   6 pair of socks, 6 pair of undies, and 2 pair of shoes ( one for walking, and one dress pair). I know we will be going out to clubs, and fine-dinning restaurants, so I need to be able to dress up.  I’m packing things I can “dress up” when needed, but that also are comfortable enough to wear daily.

I will “add and Pull” from my bag several times in the next week as I continue to prepare, but this way I will feel comfortable with what I pack.

Starting so early helps me remember the other things like power cords, for my camera, cell phone, etc. Packing is one thing that if put off to the last minute really makes me panic!!
