A quiet weekend, or is it?

It's 8am on Saturday morning and I'm up before Nelson. I'm washing clothes and trying to get ready for the weekend chores. So many questions fill my mind when it comes to traveling abroad... (LOL. Side note about "Abroad" I've never had to say that! It's got an air about it, like "I'm traveling overseas". Makes me feel like one of those kids that are sent by their parents to Europe to "study abroad". Ok enough side note, I'm 40 and I've worked my butt off to take this trip. I'm allowed to feel a little entitled myself)

Back to my original quandary. I don't know how much clothes to take, will I be washing my hair every day? Will we be dressing down for sightseeing then later dressing up for dinner? I just have no clue what the days will bring. I've checked all the travel sites and the "packing professionals" all take too little clothes for my taste. Who brings only one pair of jeans and 2 pairs of shoes for a 12 day trip? Sorry, that's both gross and unfeasible for me.

A note on shoes: I'm not a shoe freak, but, I need sneakers, sandals AND heels (both closed and open toed). 4 pairs is reasonable, right? Maybe I'll try to sneak an additional sensible flat, but that's it!

I guess I'm more worried about packing since I have to go on this trip to DC first. I leave on June 15-19, then return and turn around and fly to Italy on the 20th, so time is my enemy. I have no choice but to think about it... Oh well, time to have some coffee and start my day of packing and running errands.

Thanks for reading!
