If there is one thing you should know about me...I despise packing. And I always OVERpack (okay, so that was 2 things.) There's something incredibly stressful about packing up your belongings and carting them thousands of miles away. It really comes down to this: what do I absolutely NEED and what can I live without for 6 weeks? Unfortunately in my case, I would much rather be too prepared than not prepared. To prevent those of us from packing our entire closets, bathrooms, and kitchens, airlines have established a 50lb weight limit...much to my dismay. Thus, my goal is to fill a very large suitcase and a carry-on for the rest. *crosses fingers*
But, equally stressful is the fact that we have to have formal/semi-formal outfits for performances...gowns take up a lot of space! Clearly airlines don't think about the fact that I am 1) female and 2) a musician. :)
If any experienced (particularly international) travellers have any advice, my ears are open!
In other news, my roommate wants to get a cat so she won't be lonely while I am gone...if anyone would like to rent my room for 6 weeks, let me know! ;)

Does the renter have to be a cat? That might solve both problems at once.
ReplyDeleteHaha, the point is that I'm already lonely without her.
