The bed in my spare bedroom is now full of Australia Bound clothing. It's a mixture between what you would find at Mountain Equipment Coop and the business casual section of your favorite department store. I refuse to vacation in yoga pants. At last check, the temperature in Sydney was about 14 during the day (I am in denial about the blue droplets meaning rain on The Weather Netwok) and then about 10 degrees at night. Melbourne was about 5 degrees cooler, which means downright chilly evenings.
I called my sister this morning. "OK - 4 short sleeve, 6 long sleeve, 2 sweaters, 2 jackets, three scarves (we are French, you know!) and 5 pants."
My sister responds that in her conference briefing it says "bring wool, not coton". We're not sure if it's just for those wimpy Europeans when it comes to cold weather or if we Canadians should actually consider a wool scarf. I mean, we're Canadian.
Of course, now the dilema is shoes. Two new pair, which I am sure were made for walking, will be packed, sneakers in the carry on.
This leaves me with only one question - what am I going to wear on the plane?
You are bringing new shoes??? Are you insane??? Do you know how much walking we are going to be doing??? I am undecided if I should wear my sneakers or my converse to travel. The sneakers are a little better for comfort...but the converse are more fashionable...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteShould I mention that my packing list was 2.5 pages long! It was insane...all that list, and I still managed to forget a few things that I thought of while I was packing...like Q-tips and those little facial cotton cleaners.
OMG! 12 hours...I am counting down...
Australia...here we come!!!
