Girls and Packing

So, I'm packing for Los Angeles last night, and BGF says "Don't check any luggage if you don't mind..."

Well, we are going to LA for 3 days. Clearly, I don't need to check luggage for a 3 day trip, right? Except for men don't understand how hard it is to be a woman and travel.

First of all, I know I'm going to Disneyland. And that's it. Beyond that, I have no idea what or where I am going to end up. Obviously, I can't wear what I'd wear to run around Disneyland to a club or to dinner. Not the same shoes, not even the same purse.

And on top of that, there are just some outfits you own that only look good once in a while. Like, a certain fitted dress is not going to work after a Disney character buffet, lol. Depending on your mood, you might think you arms look toned and want to wear a tank top, but the next day you might think they look jiggly and want to wear three layers to cover them.

Being that my hair sucks, I also need the straightener. And make-up.

And seriously, there are even different lingerie choices for different occassions.

Because I am used to this insane packing ritual, at this point I have 2 pairs of jeans, 2 skirts, 2 or 3 dresses, about 10 tops, pjs, 4 different bras, about 20 pairs of panties, a pair of black heals, a pair of boots, a pair of flip flops, 2 purses, presents for my niece and nephew, and the hair straightener in my carry on...and it can STILL close without me sitting on it (so far). Unfortunately, I still have make-up, the Ipad, the Ipod, the camera...but with a little creativity I think I can do it.
