Ok, so I am soooo excited to start packing thus I don't forgt anything. Problem lies in the fact of my teenagers. Don't want to have to explain all the sexy outfits lying about the open suitcases. Sexy shoes are out, no big deal, they actually know that mom show's her ta-tas while in Mexico, that's why there are never many pictures of our trips for them to see. But afraid some of the outfits could scar them for life, lol! Ah, alias at least the bubba mugs are out of the cabinet ready for packing. Now let's hope I don't forget to pack anything then! See ya all soon Kelly
I just hide them under my shorts, regular tops and the shoes well got too many in my suitcase already. Too many dresses, and way too many bikinis. Back to the decision process. God I hate packing. Love being there but hate packing. I keep taking them out and saying nah I need this, lol and that and at the end no decisions are made just everything gets re packed.
lol I'm getting better at packing every "adult" trip we go on.. though I dont have kids to worry about looking through my suitcase.. I generally just OVER pack
Well since I'm going on a " work" trip to Mexico, I will have to pack everything last minute. Being the caregiver for my father who has Alzheimer's I feel as if I'm sneaking around like I am 16. Just glad he never opened any of the little packages my outfits came in. Talk about awkward! So I feel your pain Kelly!
A perennial over-packer, I know that when Saturday rolls around (already packed for the most part) there will an internal debate between "looking stylish & having all the right TTR gear (including my ancestral kilt!)" and "don't you wish you'd packed that certain lens filter for the Mayan Ruins!!!" In any event...FUN is undoubtedly forthcoming ~ woot!!!!
Been able to hide the naughty outfits fairly easily. My problem is that when I convinced Ken to take his guitar I didn't realize how much usable weight we would be losing. I've cut out as much as I can, now comes the moving from one bag to another to even things out. Carry ons are stuffed. I will make it work as I refuse to let him leave that guitar behind. Can't wait for a few tunes on the beach.
I had the same problem--two teenage daughters who would need therapy if they saw the things I packed--and who I knew would hide rubber snakes in my suitcase (long story...) So I solved the dilemma by layering all of the "special" things between regular T'shirts, rolling them, then sealing them inside vacuum seal ziplocs. Looked perfectly innocent, and nothing that the kids would mess with. Shoes got thrown on top just before we left for the airport.
