... I'm an awful packer. If I'm vacationing for 5 days, I will pack 6 pairs of shoes and 11 outfits. Because really, you never know. What if I don't like an outfit as much as I thought I would? Or what if my travels change and I'm gone longer than expected? More is best, I say. Except when you're driving 14+ hours to Savannah. And you're sharing a car with 3 others that have luggage. And one of them is my sister, who yells at me when I overpack (And I quote, "Lisa, just because we're taking a bigger car does not mean you can bring a bigger suitcase."). Said sister is pregnant (!), so I know she means business.
My adventures in packing started out horribly (exhibit A to the right). I couldn't close my suitcase ... or even come close to closing it and I hadn't even added my makeup and toiletries. After reassessing the situation, unpacking a pair of shoes, a pair of jeans, 3 dresses and 4 tops, my suitcase was slim and trim and ready for a road trip.
I'm all set to go with my suitcase ... plus an extra bag that holds my toiletries. I'm hoping to sneak it in the car without my sister knowing.
Wish me luck! I'll be back a week from Monday. Have a great week!

Well, I'll say, I was impressed with your packing overall :) And, you were able to close your suitcase on the way back too.
