We are now less than two weeks away!And because I love to plan, I have already started to pack. Packing for this trip is going to be a little tricky just because of the nature of it. I have to pack for work and for fun - and I'm going to try to do it in carry ons only!
I'm bringing a green pack and a black leather back pack (the blue suitcase is leftover from my trip home for Thanksgiving.)
As of now I will be bringing two nice black pants, one pair of regular jeans, and one pair of work sweats (yay working for a soccer company!). For tops I'm brining 3 work polos, 5 undershirts/ tank tops for layering, a work pullover, a work heavy winter coat, a work long sleeve shirt, 2 or 3 sweaters, a sweater dress and a party dress for New Years/ nice dinner. I'm also bringing a thick scarf, glove/mitten things, and an ear warmer head band. I'll be able to do laundry so I'm trying hard not to overpack since I will be going on 5 planes, 6 trains, and at least 1 bus.
As for shoes I am going pretty minimal - sperrys (Comfortable and good for walking) and combat boots (water proof and warm!). Unfortunately I just don't have room for running shoes soooo exercise will have to be gained via walking all over the place. I also decided to throw in a bikini (the lime green blob at the top of the pile of socks) - it takes up almost no room and who knows if a hotel will have a hot tub or something!Toiletries are pretty minimal too. I've even gone for a shampoo bar instead of carrying liquid shampoo.
The reason why I am bringing the black bag is because it will be my "day pack." I have a little first aide kit in there, I'll keep my camera, sunscreen, water, ipad, and maybe my work laptop in there too. That way I can pull up anything I may need at any time. I also have downloaded some pretty cool apps for exploring Paris on my iPad so I'm excited to try those out!PS sorry for the sub-par pictures. Photographing empty bags is not easy.
