packing

Today I amused myself by seeing just how small I could make my luggage.

I'll publish pix of the fully-loaded bags when I have them. Here's the inventory:

lavender floral nightdress

I have so much cute underwear and no good reason to show it off. Story of my life.

OTHER

Toiletries and makeup: somehow this category ended up taking up a LOT more space than it should have. But every vagabond needs a good mascara.

Rain poncho.

Digital camera.

Laptop computer (Andy talked me into this. I already have to admit he was right, and I haven't even left the country yet.)

Earplugs, sleep mask, and travel pillow.

Wallet with photos of my niece and nephews.

Hebrew flashcards. Naturally.

Pouch full of lavender seeds. I travel in style.
