The trip is booked and we are all exited to go. But before we can take off we need to pack. And that is the one thing I hate most about traveling. Don’t mind to wait in airports, don’t mind being jet lagged (though I suffer badly). Packing is something my disorganized creative mind cannot get around.

So I usually start well in advance with heaps and heaps of things that I think I need and then toss out again for the sake of something else.

Luckily there are great sites out there that give me ideas of what to take. And so I create lists. And heaps…
