tiamatladyBe Very afraid!
One week
Two cities (one "country" although to be honest, I consider it Two. Props to my Scottish Homies. Werd.)
3000 miles away from home.
I've packed ONE bag.
I was Brutal in the purging of clothes. I only took one or two items I'm not sure whether or not I'd wear. I brought some "Goth" stuff but nowhere near what I brought last time, or even the time before. I've packed my Torrid boots, and my new cute shoes. I'll be wearing my sneakers. I packed one corset. I tried to pack layering items. I packed one heavy wintry sweater (the grey one I wear in colder weather) I'll be taking my Cruxshadows hoodie on the plane. I went through the second bag I was planning, packed toiletries in my Virgin Atlantic drawstring bag, I've packed makeup in a smaller case, and while I still took too much eyeshadow, I didn't take everything I usually do, with my usual "But I don't know what I'm going to want to do!". I restrained myself to what I'd use if I went out, based on the purple outfit I brought.
And there's still room!
I have yet to pack any jewelry, or hair items. I like to have extra clips, and I try to take all my cute little clips. I won't need as much jewelry, tho. I have certain things I wear with the main outfit I brought, and I'll bring one or two other things in case I wear the long foufy thing I brought. I'm doing that in a second. I also need to throw in my bedwear, but I already have a PJs outfit, I just want the dress thing in case.
Seriously, I'm wigged. There won't be much room for gifts, but I'm bringing my travel size space saver bags, for dirty clothes and undies, so I might end up using those if I need the room (on top of the dirty thing.)
it doesn't even WEIGH as much as last time!
I need to get my carry on in order, I need to email people, and finish my list of contacts and places, for my luggage, for my carry on, and to email to my chosen contacts. I wonder if I have another small make up type bag to keep my non checked bag incidentals in? *thinks*

Date: 2004-05-16 11:59 am (UTC)and I'm thinking I forgot something.
but I also rolled this time, instead of laying flat. And did the "stuff the shoes with little things" so my boots have about 10 pairs of socks stuffed in them *grins* But I htink that was it - all that wasted space now not wasted.
Top it off with the lack of poofy goth clothes, and there's the space. I brought one piece (the sheer purple long sleeved thing) that I wouldn't wear anywhere but a club, and it rolled up tiny. I also brought my fuzzy laceup bell sleeved tunic, which I doubt I'll be wearing, but I might, and it's flat on the bottom, balancing out the heavy sweater.
The challenge? Repacking all this stuff with anything I buy also in there. *sighs* However, the cover (the mesh pouch area) is empty, so I can get clothes into the space savers, expell air til they're flat, then put them in there. I hope. I might be looking for another piece of luggage! *grins*
