Getting ready….

I feel like I am packing to go to outer space. And here’s what I’ve learned about packing over the years. My husband is useless. I mean he’s amazing….but he’s useless at packing. So I’ve been planning for this trip for 6 months. I have everything meticulously planned out…every liquid is in a baggy, we each have our own toiletries bag. I have made sure that I have half of each of our clothes in each checked bag incase we lose one of them. I have bug spray. Hand sanitizer. Bandaids. I have a picture of each outfit I’m going to wear so that I don’t overpack. (No joke-everyone at work will verify. They are fascinated by how organized I am about this-yet can never remember where I put my coffee at work….). I have brought chocolate bars, energy bars, crystal lite packets, instant coffee packs, coffee whitener, vinegar, ketchup, peanut butter (insert eye roll here), emergen-c packets, the list goes on and on and on. My husband showed up. Asked where his liquids are, packed his WALLET. And got on the plane. I should however mention here that when we had to get a room at the airport hotel and they needed his drivers license. He said “I didn’t bring it”. I said, “yes you did. I saw you put it in your travel wallet”. “No I didn’t”. “Yes you did. Check it again.” “Nope. Not here….oh wait…its here.”. THE ONLY THING HE ACTUALLY PACKED HIMSELF. Yeah. So…..this is going to be a whole thing. I mean what grown man asks, “how many pairs of underwear did you pack for me?”. Sigh. I told him I packed 14 pairs. I did not tell him 12 of them are thongs. And now we wait…….

  1. Chris “the husband” here. In my defence, we have traveled every year for our anniversary (17 years now) and this has always happened. You should be used to it by now. I show up and I’m your donkey. I haul bags full of candles and snacks around the world for you. Your welcome.

  2. I’m a co-worker chiming in to verify the outfit calendar. I find it equally fascinating & organized!
