We definitely tried to go for capsule wardrobes. For me, that meant several dresses, two pairs of jeans and four shirts. Since we were traveling in the fall, I wore a nice, warm and packable down jacket on the plane and took a jean jacket I’ve had for years. I strapped our yoga mat to my backpack to allow for working out wherever we are!

I also took makeup and a toiletry bag with enough to get started, although we will buy things as we go. I packed a number of OTC medications I thought we might need too!

I had planned to fit everything into my backback. Never a light packer, as we neared our departure, I decided to take along a tote as well. It allowed me extra room, and I’ve used it to carry medications, my headphones, kindle, a travel blanket, etc. I’m planning to empty it when we arrive in a destination and use it to carry my computer around or grocery shop!
