The Packing Process

Packing is something that does not always ignite excitement but when the task is undertaken with the anticipation of the adventure ahead, it can make it a little easier. But the question still remains...how does one tackle such a chore.

Here is a 5 step process:

1. Get the right equipment - for us it was proper big backpacks with lots of straps, steal reinforcement and everything...ooh
                                                                                                                                                         
2. Chuck everything out of your cupboard.                                                                                       Here is my 1st draft
   
   
   
     You just never know when you might need fluffy pink bunny ears. Haha!                                                        
3. Cull - now, carefully go over all the items and cut out anything that isn't totally necessary. This may be more difficult than you think.
   
    Should I keep the pink wig? Haha!                                                                                                 Here is my 2nd Draft
                                                                                                     
4. Choose a packing strategy - I decided to go for the classic 'rolling technique'. Apparently this method will save space, keeping your packing as compact as possible. Hopefully it all fits!                   
5. Passport and Travel Document - double check, triple check, quadruple check!!!! Your passport is one thing you do not want to leave behind!!!!    
   
                                                                                                                                  
   

Okie dokie...now we just gotta hold thumbs and hope that nothing is forgotten. Oh...and check for that passport again!!! Haha!
