How to Pack Like a "Girly-Girly" Woman that I am.
I have never gone camping voluntarily in my life. However, I am a traveler. I have been blessed to have visited many exotic locations in the past. Kenya and Tanzania during a photo-safari back in 2006, a river cruise in the Nile in 2008, a cruise to Alaska back on 2016, etc. So, even thought I don't know much about camping, I do know how to pack in an efficient way. I am thrifty and don't like to pay for extra luggage charges.
I have to pack for a sixtyish day road trip that includes both early winter and then warm temps on the loop back. Challenge accepted.
I am using these handy "toiletries" bags to pack: toiletries, bug spray/sun screen, and chargers/batteries/electronics peripherals.
In the process of packing away other stuff, I realized that I have these little Ikea organizers. These are perfect to help me separate items inside of the clothing container.
One for t-shirst, one for soxs, one for unmentionables. The bottom layer are the jeans and sweat pants:
Here it is, sixty days worth of stuff in one container:
Twenty Five days to go...
The itinerary has changed a bit - since I've discovered that Yellowstone "shuts down" mid-October. No, it doesn't mean they turn off the fossette on old faithful.... It just means that winter comes early - I've re-arranged the schedule to try to make it earlier in Oct - I'll be heading directly to Maine from Virginia on Sept 28 and then head out west. I had originally planned on wandering around the mid-Atlantic and north east coast and hang around for 10 days. Research continues and of course nothing is ever set in stone... that is the beauty of being a wanderer.
