Hello all,
I need to test-run a blog post, so I thought I would quickly review my travel preparations. The trip is well on the way to enough organization to travel under. I need to secure a few more accommodations, but other than that, the little details are what I am working on. Specifically: packing. My search for packing optimization began the first few times I traveled. I am fortunate that my mother prioritized trips starting from when my brother and I were toddlers, as she thought it important that we learn the lessons only travel can teach us (e.g. humility, independence, awareness). Even then, I remember questioning why my mother packed certain things for me versus my brother. I remember packing my own suitcase for the first time on a second grade trip to Las Vegas to visit family. Of course, I also remember much more recently packing for my moves to Chicago, Canada, and Germany. I now am faced with the packing dilemma of my circumnavigation followed shortly thereafter by my move to Austria. But: all will turn out well. I am, after all, a seasoned packer.
Cheers,
Mackenzie
