Today I decided it was probably a good idea to clean my room, and I took it as a chance to start packing as well- considering that it's only just over two weeks until I leave.
Now, I was excited at first- until I was trying to figure out what to take on carry-on, and what to take on checked baggage, and how to pack necklaces, and how much to bring, and which valuables to leave here at home even if I wear them all the time... aah!
Anyways, once I got all that fixed up, I realized (since I am going to be wearing my clothes until I leave), that I needed a way to document which outfits to bring. So I photographed different arrangements with my new Canon A480 :D
A lot of shorts, but most of them can be alternated with the three skirts that are there, too.
Okay, so then everything was organized, and ready, and...
...wait.
I forgot the most important of Italian things to take overseas to the country of your relatives: gifts. My Nonna had bought about a million gifts for our foreign family, and those alone would take up an entire piece of luggage. So, back to rearranging everything.
Eventually, after my Mom's patient prompting, I decided to use my tote as my carry-on, and my roller carry-on as a checked bag with my larger suitcase. Pack all my clothes in the roller case, and the shoes and gifts in the large suitcase. Problem solved?
Not quite. What I may have to do now is repack everything into the large suitcase, and wrap all the gifts into a box of their own so that all I have is a checked box, a checked suitcase, and a carry-on tote. Phew!
I guess I'll figure it out eventually.
Anyways, I have to go sleep. I work tomorrow! (ONLY 12 MORE DAYS LEFT!)
Ta-ta!
