People close to me know that I plan
months in advance for a significant trip. This Friday I will be boarding a
plane for a trip that was not planned so far in advance and I’m a little
anxious about it. What shall I do there? Is there anyone in the area I can see
while there? What will the hotel be like? I have a laundry list of questions,
but what will be in my suitcase isn’t one of them. One of my girlfriends asked
what I’ll pack, and since she is a bit of a fashionista I know she is asking
about the clothes I’ll bring. My husband asked what I’ll pack, and since he is
a fellow photographer I know he is asking about the camera gear I’ll take.
Of course there will be clothes and
camera gear in my bag though I’m not clear exactly what those things will
be, but I’m sure to pack these essentials:
·
A sense of adventure
·
A smile for everyone I meet
·
A generous spirit
·
An observant eye
·
Gratitude
·
Curiosity
·
Patience
What’s in your suitcase?

Love planning trips it's part of the fun... In the days before Kindle it was books and more books .. Now it's still excitement, apprehension and so much gratitude that I can travel at all....Have fun...
Have a great trip Carol. It looks like you have all the right things packed for a good time ahead! Safe travels.
You've packed all the necessities - everything else is the icing on the cake! Have fun - and send pictures!
Unanimous: You have all the essentials. Now go and enjoy. And bring us back lots of photos.
Have a safe and exciting trip!!!!
Can't wait to see/hear about it :-D
Oh, Carol, your are leaving for London! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Love your packing list, have to put that on mine, too. In a bit more than 2 weeks we will be leaving for Wales... cannot wait to see you images!
Love your packing list! I know you packed all those same things when you came to visit Arizona. You were the most "go with the flow" traveler, up for anything and enthusiastic about whatever we did. I'm a big planner too and try to be prepared for any eventuality but it's not always necessary to have every "thing" you need as long as you have that adventurous spirit. Have a great time and we can't wait to hear all about it!
Yes, I'd say you have all the essentials! Have a great trip!
Books, always books..travel books and reading for pleasure books. Even though I have I-Book I have never read on my I-pad..maybe someday.
I like the things on our list and most of those are on my also..
Have a fun time...enjoy every moment.
Those are wonderful things to pack! The rest of the things will take care of themselves, and if you forget something you can always buy it. You can't buy the things you have listed.
enjoy your trip carol! and you'll be in good shape with everything your packing. :)
With what you've packed...you're assured of a fantastic trip!
