When I begin to prepare to leave for a trip, I have visions of my suitcase looking like this:
It usually ends up looking more like this.
Packing is a talent that I seemed to have missed out on. I love to travel, but the packing part is not fun for me. Most mornings I have a hard time deciding what I want to wear that day....how do I decide what I want to wear for the next week? When you add shoes, maybe some jewelry and whatever else needs to go into the suitcase, I'm a mess.
What almost always happens is that I pack way too much. I start out with a pretty good plan, but somewhere in the execution the plan goes awry. I become a ditherer. I can't decide between two things, so I take them both. I like to have choices.
I'm packing now to go to a wedding in Cabo San Lucas. I'm leaving tomorrow (I was supposed to leave Thursday, but there's a snowstorm coming our way, so I'm leaving a day early). I need to finish packing, but I can't decide if I want to take the green swimsuit or the black. Maybe I'll just take both, and the maybe the red one too.
