Friday

How ‘bout some packing tips today.
- Roll your pants rather than fold them, they will come out wrinkle and crease free.

- And don’t waste precious time trying to decide which pair of shoes to bring – bring them all.

You know… if you do any research on traveling and vacationing… there is this school of thought that you should take as little with you as possible. Less bags, less to carry. Economize your trip. Take clothes that will all work with each other so you can get many outfits out of just a few items. Stick to neutral colors so that one blouse works with slacks, skirts and shorts…
That’s just RIDICULOUS. You are on vacation – you need to look svelte and athletic at the beach**, perky and coordinated for mid-afternoon cocktails and then stunning by dinner.
You don’t know what the weather will be, you don’t know what you will feel like, you don’t know what will look ‘right’ that day…sheesh sometimes I don’t even know what size I will be from one day to the next.
C’mon – suitcases are on wheels these days – take it all.

**please note that by svelte and athletic I am referring to wearing black…cuz its slimming, and carrying a Frisbee.
