Do you consider yourself an expert packer? I’m somewhere in the middle of an expert and a novice.
Like many, I have mixed emotions when it comes to packing for a trip. On the one hand, having to pack means we are about to embark on an exciting adventure! But on the other hand, it takes a lot of work to decide what we need, organize all those essentials, and fit it all into bags and suitcases. I worry about over-packing and forgetting necessary items all at the same time.
Last month, when it came time to start getting ready for our Oregon-California road trip, I agonized about getting it right. We had 6 different overnight destinations. Thus, I wanted to make sure that we had a system that wouldn’t leave our car looking like a tornado blew through. I didn’t want to waste a lot of precious adventure and family time trying to figure out where something was located.
