Packing

As much as I have traveled,I am still not what you would consider a light packer. I tend to want to bring my entire summer wardrobe because you never know what you will feel like wearing. This time I am determined to travel with carry on luggage. I packed last night and just about fit everything, but not quite. I had to take out two pairs of shoes! I tell myself it is the gifts I take to friends, but really? So packing attempt number two will take place today. I am putting all of my toiletries in a checked duffle bag which I will stick in my luggage afterwards, if it will fit! I am going for 3 weeks so I feel like I need at least 10 changes of clothes. In France you never know about the weather, especially in the north. I am going to take a few out a few things today and see how it goes.
