TODAY'S THE DAY!!!! 8 HOURS AND COUNTING. I've packed and re-packed....6 times actually...going from 48# to 55# and back down. My carry-on weighs 30# and has most of my tops/jeans but there's no room for my laptop. I don't understand how you can pack for 6 weeks and stay under 50# I really thought about just buying on the way, but I will try again. I've got one of those 'fashionable shopping bags'...hopefully I can get my purse (huge), laptop, paperwork, zentangle tools and miscellaneous on-board necessities and then I'll dress....long sleeve turtleneck, sweatshirt, hooded sweater, leather jacket, jeans, and boots. I'll really look like a 'bag lady'. I was told that I didn't need that much...Europeans are minimalistic but that's not me. And I'm really not taking that much.
3 jeans
3 dress pants
10 l/s tops
3 sweaters
2 skirts (for dinner on-board ship)
5 long, travel jackets (on-board)
miscellaneous scarves, jewelry
3 pair shoes (no heels...ugh...how can you dress up and not have heels????)
socks and other cold-weather wear
gifts for my Italian family and German host family
Doesn't sound like much....maybe I missed something? Oh NO!! I am not going through it again.
Wish me luck. I'll be in Vienna tomorrow...
