The Daily Sabs

Ever since an ill-fated trip to Europe in 1998 (where I learned from all of my mistakes, or so I tell myself) I have always been an excellent packer. Everything goes into one carry on and one handheld purse item. And while I'm an excellent packer, I'm not so good at the planning. In fact I normally wait until the last minute to throw it all together, even doing laundry right before the flight.

On Friday night I head out for an east coast excursion (hello Boston and new York!). Some of it is for work, and some is for play (hello newly immigrated to the US cousin and her family!). And because this is a different universe now (or so bsugz tells me after being unable to wrap his head around the fact that I am a u2 fan), I decided to try this planning thing out.

Clothingwise, biz trips are different than fun trips (on a fun trip there's only like 5 outfits total whereas work feels like I should be trying harder to wear clean things). Plus this time im packing for 5 days of both. That said, I am still going to try my best to go carryon. I even figured out outfits that all go with the same shoes.

My luck I'm going to lose a shoe and all this planning will be a waste. I guess we'll have to wait and see what this new universe is like.

Ps. Nothing in this photo made the cut.

Pps. What should I do in Boston folks?

Ppps. NY kids, let's grab eats!
