- white handkerchief skirt
- black yoga capris
- black Bermuda shorts
- denim Bermuda shorts
- teal green skort
- long summer pants (black with white polka dots)
- light black cardigan
- bathing suit
- cotton summer nightie
- at least, 10 tops
- 5 pairs bras and panties
- 2 pairs of sandals (white and black)
- 3 pairs of earrings
- prescription medicine and over the counter medicines, travel first aid and sewing kit
- toiletries and makeup, no bottle, tube or jar contains more than 50 ml of fluid or cream.
- my cellphone, tablet, battery charger, extra batteries, camera, charging cords, and ear buds
I went to the post office, Home Hardware (to pick up two No-pest strips which I have hung up already), my bank, the hair stylist (to wax my brows), Guardian Drugs for my prescription fill, Shopper's Drug Mart (where I spent $44 with my coupon to pick up an extra 10,000 Optimum points) and the gas station to fill up my van. I am leaving it with a friend while I am gone. I have downloaded 3 Netflix movies onto my tablet. I have picked up all the trash and garbage throughout the house and will place outside at the curb tonight. It will be out there all day tomorrow, (one day early) but I will hope that people will just assume I got my days mixed up. I put the compost out and washed out the kitchen compost bin. Tonight I will turn on the dishwasher and wash up everything that is ready. I will pack a couple of containers of food for the early bus ride and the lo-o-ong wait at the airport tomorrow. I have some hard boiled eggs, and salami slices with cheese that I can eat for breakfast and lunch tomorrow. I have already prepaid my dinner for the flight at 5 PM. I am hoping I haven't forgotten anything...remembered my passport and all my tickets and reservations. Experience tells me that I will have forgotten something, but hopefully nothing too important. I will TRY to post on my tablet, but please don't hold your breath.
Did you pack your chargers for your phone and your tablet?
ReplyDeleteI'm SO impressed, you are SO organized. You've obviously thought through everything. And I can just imagine you in your "mother of the groom" outfit in the forest, you'll look like a wood nymph!
Have a wonderful trip!
Yes I remembered my chargers, but I forgot my rings which are sitting by my kitchen sink. Sorry, I am having some problems using Blogger on my tablet. I hope to be an expert by the end of my trip.
DeleteWow, I can't imagine how you managed to pack everything into that one carry-on bag! You obviously know how to pack! It sounds like you've thought of everything and, hopefully, if you've forgotten something, it is something that can easily be purchased. Don't forget to take your house keys with you, though! Or, maybe leave them with the friend who will keep your van? You don't want to have to break in to your house when you get back! :D
ReplyDeleteHope you'll have a safe journey and a wonderful time. My best wishes to your son on his marriage.
Fourth attempt. Still having problems. I will pass on the well wishes to my son when I see him. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention the keys. I don't remember posting about my experience but maybe I did. I had traveled back from somewhere and my son had the keys to the house and the van. He was looking after the place while I was gone. I had asked him to leave the front door unlocked, but he forgot. Fortunately, I found an unlocked window at the back of the house. I removed the screen and crawled in on my belly. What a sight.This time I have a set with me, as well as my friend who will be picking me up.
