I have always subscribed to the age-old wisdom that you take as much time to pack as you give yourself. So I cleverly left the bulk of my packing for the day before my departure, thinking if I only gave myself a day to do it, it would only take a day of my time. That may have been a mistake.
Although I did get everything packed, I was irritated to spend much of Christmas Day, a traditionally pjs and family-centred holiday, racing around my house, cramming bags, and scrapping lots of trash. Had I a do-over, I would have started packing about four days ago. Whoops.
For those interested in the final tally, my big bag weighs about 27 pounds and the smaller one is about 5 pounds.
Not too bad, but I can almost guarantee I'll be ditching a bunch of stuff within the next week. Although my bag isn't full to capacity, the bulk is already annoying me. Also, a shout-out to Pam, who was instrumental in the last hours of packing.
Farewell Note:
My plane takes off at 12:30pm tomorrow, so I'll be at the airport around 10:00am. Oh my goodness. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and take care, everyone! I'll be in touch...
