Hawaii: The Day After Tomorrow: packing woes

Well, it's almost here. Our first "working vacation". Our first month long trip away...anywhere.

4 Weeks in Hawaii. 4 WEEKS IN HAWII!

Holy Moly. We've been planning this lifestyle for years now. To have it right before our eyes is kind of...well, it's kind of...FREAKING EXCITING!

What am I dreading most? (clue: headline gave it away).

Packing.

Why Packing you ask?

Ok...I (Kerry) have been researching how other digital nomads before me have pulled this "way of life" off. One of their tricks is...drum roll...Packing Light.

AAAAHHHHH.

What???

I don't know how to pack light. Does ANY woman know how to pack light?? Well, apparently...yes.

So I have decided to pack lightly. The basic concept seems to be...don't pack for more than 1 week, no matter how long you are traveling for.

One week...ummmm...Ok.

Apparently it's easier to wash a weeks worth of laundry along the way in your travels than to lug everything you can think of that you might need.

Ok...so only one week of clothes. I have to admit, that as we get closer to the departure date I'm starting to have a bit of strange anxiety over this task. How in the heck am I going to go from a 2 suitcase kinda girl to ONE LIGHT CHECK-IN BAG. AHHHHHHH.

I'm going to do it though! I am...I am ...I am.

Wish me luck.

OH...and Randy has snickered at me when I talk about this "packing light" thing...so I don't think he believes I can do this...so seriously...

Wish me luck. ;)
