Good morning readers! In just a few short hours I am flying off to California to see all of my relatives one last time before I move to Egypt. I fly from Sioux Falls to Minneapolis to Las Vegas (with a hefty layover, so I'll definitely have time to read). I created my packing list a couple of days ago while I had some down time nannying. All of my items for a week-long vacation fit into a *large* personal item and my spinner carry-on suitcase! Check out my packing story in pictures! :)
 |
| My personal item (which fits under the seat in front of me on the plane). I ordered this monogrammed bag via Etsy. |
 |
| The contents of my personal item: Vera Bradley hipster, Bose headphones, camera, jewelry bag, meds, snacks, folder with school planning stuff, and (not pictured) my iPad and Nook. |
 |
| My travel outfit: Dress: Cato Cardigan: JC Penneys Ballet flats: Tieks |
 |
| Two pair of shoes for the trip (both can be dressy or casual). |
 |
| Three dressy tops (black floral, white bow, watercolor floral). White polka dot cardigan. Black A-line dress. |
 |
| Black maxi dress (with adorable ruffle hem). |
 |
| Pajamas (shorts, capris, 2 tshirts). Three casual tees. Four camis for layering. (Not pictured: 2 bras and 7 pair undies). |
 |
| Denim shorts. Nike tempo shorts. |
 |
| Two swimsuits. Left: Victoria's Secret Right: Alloy |
 |
| Toiletries and makeup. (Not pictured: flat iron). |
 |
| Full, but with a little room to spare! |
I am looking forward to visiting all of my relatives and spending some quality time in the place I was born. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to visit the desert very often, so when I get the chance, it is a real treat! Sometimes I catch myself feeling jealous of all my friends whose families and relatives all live within a 5 or 6 our drive... But I know that the distance only makes me realize how special my time with my family truly is.
If you'd be willing, I'd love a prayer for safe travels :)
