PACKING BIG TIME-read

I am so tired of eating Passover food. I can’t wait to go out for supper tonight!!!! Usually I don’t mind Passover but the food is getting to me. Matzoh is just NOT filling.
I have been packing for our trip to Europe and Israel. Last night I packed my back pack. I still haven’t included any snack food and I am not sure about my clothes so may repack my duffle bag.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day here. I went to the hairdresser and also had a manicure. Then I went to buy a pair of sandals. Fifteen bucks off but still expensive. I use to have three pair but can’t find any of them. I looked in our three homes! I also bought some nuts for snacks. Now to pack them so they don’t get smushed up.
My son loaned me his IPOD touch so I have been busy loading it with pictures and music.
I am thinking I should put a change of clothes in hubby’s bag and/or my backpack. At first I thought we should pack half of our clothes in each other’s bag but hubby didn’t seem interested. It doesn’t matter if our luggage doesn’t get lost!
I’m not taking my laptop but will get online as often as I can.
I am deciding on which journal to take. So far they are all tiny ones. I remember one trip I took a tiny one and in the end it disappeared. I was so sad! I will have to be more careful this time.
I found a book which I will probably take with. It’s by Linda Holeman. I read two of hers which were very good.
So I better have breakfast and get ready for my day. More packing-goodbye phone calls- write a letter to my children etc.

I wonder who has been borrowing your sandals?

I think that’s an excellent idea, packing each bag with half his and half your stuff.

I am sure with you being so busy before leaving is going to be all worth the time, once you are on the trip you will have plenty of time to rest and enjoy the trip! Packing is a pain, I have gone on trips and regret what I packed. As you mentioned you have a IPOD, hey what about a Camera, are you going to take lots of pictrues for your scrapebook and for your children and grandson to see some day. I think its a great idea to leave a note for your kids. It makes it more special! Have a good day!

They say you should lay everything out on the bed before you pack and then eliminate about half of the stuff you have there. I am hoping to pack light for my Vegas trip, I will only be there for the weekend. Have fun!
