    Get Set ~


    I was very pleased with myself last summer for my economical packing.  I got everything I needed for two weeks in Florida into ONE suitcase.  So you'd think that with approximately the same amount of time planned for my trip to Virginia - I'd need the same luggage.  Wrong.  There's a chance that the extra poundage I'll be lugging along COULD be attributed to the fact that the cooler weather means I'm packing clothes that will take up more space than my swimsuit and tee shirts.  But I don't think that's the answer.


    It's trunk space.  See, when we went to Florida, well WE went to Florida.  So all the gear for four people plus the ice chest and the stuff for the beach all had to fit in that trunk.  This time I get that trunk all to myself.  Mwuahahahahahahaha!  I'm TRYING to be reasonable, but really since I don't HAVE to limit myself to a single bag, there's no reason I can't throw in a few extras that MIGHT come in handy - right? 


    I HAVE managed to narrow down the number of shoes I'll be taking - it helps that I'm a Southern Woman so I know the rule about "no white shoes after Labor Day" ...

  •  :smile:  You pack girl!  Fill up that trunk! 

  •  :wave:...will Virginia ever be the same?  :clown: Think I sent you an email with my mailing address, right? It's the same address.
    ...can't wait to read your travel tales!  :stickdance: Hope you can keep in touch. Take care and Godspeed.  :heart: MuSe

  • I can definitely appreciate not having to share trunk space.  Yay!!! 

    I hope you have a wonderful time!

  •  :bigbounce:... it's such a hassle to pack without under- or over-packing!!  Going back and forth putting things in the trunk, and then changing your mind and taking them out again  :stickdance:  (I wanted to use that icon... I just wanted to use that icon!)  I end up giving myself lots of extra time when I pack - so I can change my mind.   :laugh:

  • I can see you wanting to take all your "good time stuff" but couldn't the fundu set and the barbells have stayed home?

  • SHOES!  wow

  • When I coach people about writing, I tell them that one important thing to know is what to leave out.  I guess the same holds true for packing.

    Thanks...and I should count my blessings--at least my last name isn't Hitler.

  • Shoes!  Hey, if you're driving by Charlottesville on your trip, be sure to wave.  I'll wave back.  :cool:

    anyway-- I like your shoes-- in fact I have a couple that look just like a couple of those pictured.

  • Have great time! are you sure you have enough shoes? You can never have too many pairs of shoes!

  •  :wave:...think you have all footwear needs covered - like the pink jobbies!  :clap: See you plodding toward morning coffee, twinkle toes.  :coffee:   :bighug: MuSe

  • it saddens me to say this, but i think the incredible sexiness of the black anklestrap jobs are completely cancelled out by my mom's...er... i mean, your pink fuzzy houseslippers. 

  • ROFLOL!! I usually have the same problem!

  • LOL @ rache! 

    (but, ...stammer..., I agree with her!)

  • Pink slippers are definitely a must! I don't know how you can go anywhere with out pink slippers!

  • You are so cute!  You remind of my friend Snow, who simply adores......shoes.  I'd love to get her to post a pic of all of her shoes!!!!  I love your pink slippers the best...don't forget those!  :stickdance: :heart:Kira

  • I think you should scrap all the other footwear and just take the pink fuzzy ones.  They will go with everything ...... :hammer:

  •  :wave: Your space to use as you wish  :idunno: :smile: So pack whatever you like.
    The important thing is to just go and have a great time.  :bighug:

  • You keep your shoes so nicely, I'm really impressed.  You know Parkinson's Law:  Work expands to fill the time allotted (or something).  Well, I think with luggage, it works the same way
