I tend to over pack a little when it comes to clothes but a lot when it comes to shoes. <BR/>I agree with Becca on the shoe choice.<BR/>Marissarissalynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990728998504141458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047363849489108180.post-29008978951355687552008-05-22T18:04:00.000-07:002008-05-22T18:04:00.000-07:00Hi Barbara,I'm chuckling about your packing decisi...Hi Barbara,<BR/>I'm chuckling about your packing decisions: I am a serious over-packer --- just this past week I went to Boston and took 5 jacket/coats along for this unpredictable weather! <BR/>It's fun to read your blog--- I look forward to more.<BR/>Louise Q.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047363849489108180.post-32285836266631769252008-05-21T16:15:00.000-07:002008-05-21T16:15:00.000-07:00Hello Barbara,It looks as if you have already star...Hello Barbara,<BR/><BR/>It looks as if you have already started to have fun, just planning, talking about it and sharing with friends.<BR/><BR/>I can't advise you on clothes selection as I always agonize about what to bring. Shoes however, I always pack: my black sneakers, my Keen sandals, my Easy Spirit pumps, and if we are going hiking, and my sneakers won't suffice, then my hiking boots. <BR/><BR/>See you soon,<BR/>JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242703755216759581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047363849489108180.post-25713920813989172882008-05-21T05:14:00.000-07:002008-05-21T05:14:00.000-07:00Hello Alan, Barbara: It will be wonderful sharing...Hello Alan, Barbara: It will be wonderful sharing with you albiet vicariously...I'll visit often.

Oops - ...No, I didn't have 7 pairs of shoes, did I? Oops - you are right! Well, a girl's got to have her shoes, right? And be cute, even on a long trip!<BR/><BR/>Barbara, you've got to remember the other tenet of packing that I taught you - multi-use. Everything has to have more than one use - multi-season, multi-outfit, multi-occasion. So, you have picked your basic color that you are planning around, haven't you? Once you get that, then you can choose the shoes that will best serve those multi-needs for all seasons and all occasions. And don't forget that shoes can go inside each other - and yours may even fit inside your hubbies in that cabinet!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your nice comments about the book. We'll be checking back in with you often.<BR/><BR/>Live Your Dreams!<BR/><BR/>Phil and CarolCarol White - The Road Trip Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928713493238182480noreply@blogger.com
