Packing for the girls trip to England...



It may be 40 days, 10 hours, and 40 minutes away (thank you Virgin Atlantic for providing me with such a detailed countdown that I check DAILY), but I've been mentally packing my suitcase for weeks now. When I was younger, I would be the girl with her suitcase packed two weeks ahead of time - actually putting things in my suitcase is my nightmare now (is anyone else with me on this?). Don't get me wrong, if there is a plane ticket with my name on it, I'm going, but how are you supposed to pack for all of the events that will or may happen - a girl can never be too prepared. Oh course my wardrobe staples will be making an appearance (thank you Barbour, Burberry, and Hunter) but I fear I will be the one with a 70 pound suitcase, while my travel buddy the bff has just a carry-on. (she's amazing really, I mean truly amazing) A few trips ago, sans hubby, I had to rely on the kindness of strangers, and the people in London are really, really kind - every cabby I had wanted to know how my month in London was....( I was there for a week)

What are your essentials for traveling overseas? Are you a member of the 70 lb suitcase club? Are you an over packer, or just the bare essentials?

Love this post! I've gotten the art of the carry-on suitcase down, but I admit that I normally have to bring a foldable bag that I can check on the way home for my trip shopping! Hope you have a fabulous trip.
