I bought new white pants today ( 2 pair, actually, online) and all those little bottles are refilled so the toiletries are ready. Refilled my travel "medicine chest" - nothing worse than getting a cold or digestive upset and not having your favorite remedy handy. My camera and other electronic gadgets are set to pack.

The hard part is laying out clothes and shoes and accessories and figuring out which outfit and making sure you can mix and match so you take less. And on this we will have a variety of weather too. I have a bunch of stuff all pulled out and folded but I think I will have to go over it and put it together as I will wear it.

You think I've never travelled with all the excitement and what have you. I just have way too much stuff.
