Its not the destination its the journey



We are getting ready to travel  in a few weeks so I thought I would put together a three part packing post.  Packing is actually one of my favorite aspects of travel.  Don't know why but it is. My goal is to pack the perfect  minimal carry on bag.   Every trip is a chance to improve upon the previous trip.
One color--Black.  all dresses and One tee shirt
Travel cubes, pouches and bags are the best.  Everything is separated, organized and easy to find.  This upcoming trip I am going to use ziploc bags to separate each outfit.  Easy peasey.
I have a giant bin of this kind of stuff
Okay,  This gets a lot of laughs but disposable underwear are the best.  You wear them, you throw them out.  I am not carrying home dirty underwear and I am not doing laundry in the hotel.  The ones I usually carry are much much nicer but I bought these on amazon to try out.  Not my favorite but they'll do just fine
Never leave home without-- tissues and various forms of santizers

Never leave home without - travel candles and matches -hotel room must smell good
Never leave home without--Magazines, books and a Kindle
Never leave home without- Noise canceling headphones are an essential for long flights
added  color in the form of  a slip  dress (upper left), jeans ( look good under each dress that I packed, just in case it gets cold), jewelry( fun stuff to break up all that black), bathing suit, stick on tattoos, toiletries.

Never leave home without- Light weight jacket that packs into a pouch and can double as a pillow
10 days of travel in one soft carry on  bag ( longchamps), empty kate spade knapsack that may get let at home this time
