Packing

July 21st:

How do you go about packing? Does it take a lot of time? Thought? Effort? When do you do it?

For me, packing is a multi-hour ordeal, usually stretching over two days. I pack clothes and the things I don't use every day the night before I leave, then go back and pack things like my toothbrush and deodorant the morning that I leave. I like to listen to music as I pack, or even watch a show. I pack outfits instead of just clothes. I have to keep things orderly, with everything that might be affected by elevation contained in a ziplock bag.

I also have a tendency to pack A LOT. I wouldn't say that I OVER pack, because I do end up using everything I bring, it's just a lot. My only duffle bag could fit a medium-sized teenager in it....

Well, that's what I've been doing this morning: last minute packing. Heading off to Pondy in a matter of hours... SO EXCITED.

Keep it classy!
