Packing

For a woman, there are few things worse than having to pack for a trip. Besides the weather, women are also guided by how they feel on a particular day when deciding what to wear. How can I predict how I'm going to feel on every day of a 17 day trip? Impossible! So, I end up packing way too much, or I'm ruthless and pack way too little. Either way, I usually have regrets about the way I've packed; either when I arrive at the airport, because my suitcase is over weight, or when I wake up one morning in the middle of my trip and wish I had decided to pack my red dress after all.

This time round, I don't think I've done too badly. Apparently the weather is beautiful right now, so I haven't had to pack any heavy clothing. I'm allowed two suitcases, 23kg each. I've decided to go with one suitcase and come back with two. I'm planning on doing enough shopping to fill an entire suitcase. After all, isn't that what New York is for? I just hope I can keep to the weight limitations!
