Holy crap. It’s almost time. AAAAAAHHH! This is the first full week I’ve taken off work since I got hired in February 2014. This is the first time Ben and I have traveled out of the country together in 5 years, and the first time we’ve flown together in 3 years. I’m seriously so excited I’m having trouble focusing on anything that’s not trip related. We’re driving down to Boston tonight to stay with friends, and then we fly out of Logan tomorrow night.
I’ve been making packing and to-do lists for WEEKS, and as of this morning, I’m fully packed and ready to go. We’ve got so many little layovers that we decided it wasn’t worth the risk of potentially losing checked luggage, so we’re only taking carry-on. The airline we’re using for the first leg of our trip has VERY strict weight restrictions for carry-on bags, but we paid a bit extra to get some more wiggle room, so we should be OK. I splurged big time and treated myself to my dream bag, the Tom Bihn Aeronaut 30. I’ve been lusting after this bag ever since I saw this post on Pinterest that featured it for packing for a one month trip to Europe.
Not that you probably care, but here’s what I packed:
Tom Bihn 3-1-1 TSA Compliant Toiletry Bag
- Deodorant
- Face Wash
- Face Lotion
- Comb
- Mascara
- Chap Stick
- Toothbrush and paste

Small Packing Cube
- 12 pairs underwear (Yes, TWELVE. It’s underwear, it’s not like I would wear the same pair twice)
- 4 pairs socks
- Sports bra x 2
- Bikini
Medium Packing Cube
- 4 tanks
- 3 t-shirts
- One dress
- One pair shorts
- PJ shorts and tee
- Rain jacket
Wear on Plane
- Jeans
- Sneakers
- Long Sleeve Cardigan
- T-shirt
Miscellaneous
- Chargers (phone, Kindle, etc)
- Passport
- Purse
- Wallet/cash/cards
- Hair elastics
- Headband
- Bobby Pins
- Pepto Bismol tablets
- Ibuprofen
- Allergy meds
- Ear buds
- Sunglasses
- Glasses
- Journal and pen
- Kindle
- Phone
I most likely won’t be publishing any blog posts while I’m away, but I’ll hopefully have some wi-fi in the evenings, so keep an eye out on Twitter and Instagram if you’re interested in following our adventures. I’ll be back on June 29!
