On Thursday I am leaving for Germany, my baby niece is being baptized. But, as always, going away involves some serious packing. After all there are two sets of nieces and nephews that need to get some aunty love in form of gifts, I have a stack of books for my sister and the all important tea, then there are a few other gifts that need to be packed, and on top of all of that I will be needing clothes for nearly two weeks.
And not just any old clothes either, an outfit for the church, and then there is a little trip up to Copenhagen with my Godmother that requires a few nice garments. And of course I will be needing my camera, laptop and all that other stuff that requires a selection of cables and plugs. And of course a few pairs of shoes!
So while I take care of my washing and pull out my suitcase from under the bed I think between today and tomorrow I will somehow get the chaos sorted. After all I do so love to travel and the packing problem is a price I am happy to pay.

Have a great time, and I am sure you will have fond memories all the way.
Been there!! LOVE to travel, but I find packing soooo stressful! I’m not sure why. And no amount of practice seems to reduce the stress.
I make a List of things I need to take and then just tick it off- stress happens when it comes to how to fit everything sons weight
The list!! Perfect solution…. (Why didn’t I think of that?)
Have a Bon Voyage!!
Have a good trip.. but then I know you will; you love to go and see your family… (even with all you need to pack! ) Diane
