title pic My bags are (almost) packed, I’m (almost) on my way

Posted by Alli on September 10, 2008

We got back from our last trip late Saturday night. And now I am packing again for my trip to Orlando.

This time it is all about me, me, me! I don’t have to worry about packing enough boxer briefs, pull-ups, and where the heck is Damon’s black belt? I am even dumping everything out of my toiletry bag and only putting in things I will use. I only need one travel toothbrush, there is no need for kid’s Triamenic, and I don’t use the Old Spice travel deodorant (but I do use deodorant!). It makes me a bit giddy.

I went ahead and bought a new suitcase yesterday. The one I have been using is more like a duffle bag and there was a hole on the end near the wheels. Well, as time marches on, the hole got bigger. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if I was just throwing the bag into the car and going. But since I am putting my suitcase (and the contents) in the hands of baggage handlers and maybe some TSA agents, I decided I needed a new suitcase.

I headed over to TJ Maxx yesterday and found a rust colored one (almost orange!) for $30. Originally it was $200. Seems like a deal to me!

Now, to really get things moving, I have to actually put some clothes and stuff in it.

Off to pack!
