Would it make all of you going to BlogHer feel better to know that I just finished packing for TWO trips? It’s 3 a.m. What exactly am I doing up?
I should be in bed, but I am collecting paperwork, printing out tickets, and printing business cards. Technically my husband printed them, which is just as well since me + printers = paper jam.
The minivan is packed for the 5 of us to go on a beach trip tomorrow. I have packed two sets of clothes for myself: beach clothes and more formal/dressy clothes for BlogHer. My suitcase is buried under beach chairs, 2 boogie boards, sand toys, and the ever-present and oh-so-necessary cube of Diet Pepsi.
On Wednesday I will head from the beach to BlogHer. I’ll probably breath a sigh of relief that I made it from the beach to the train station to New York Penn to the hotel to the bed. Once in bed I will probably sleep.
I’ll also be sad to leave the family on vacation. This is not supposed to be the week we travel. Our plans went awry. We made the best of it. To the beach we will go.
I packed all my clothes in one very large suitcase. I plan to leave the beach clothes with my family while I take a slightly lighter, yet still large suitcase on the train. I’m bringing my laptop bag and one other suitcase. As long as I can lift everything on and off the train I should be fine.
I have several large recycled fabric shopping bags for any extra items I need to haul home.
I had the same thing happen! Except the family isn’t going to the beach, even that changed and they are headed for the mountains. I still have to finish laundry so everyone can pack today. I guess one good thing is that while everyone else is stressing about packing this week, we’ll be done!! 😉 See you on the train! Really looking forward to meeting you!
