Its the same every time

Every time we go away, anywhere.
I want to lose weight - I never do.
I get terrible packing anxiety, we are only going for five nights, and not even flying (its a short cruise) I am literally trying to pack the whole house into my suitcase, even packing cubes cannot curb my stress! I have awful dreams about being late, forgetting passport, or people, or missing the ship or plane etc.
I always end up over packing, its like a security blanket thing I just need EVERYTHING just in case!
And the toiletries dear lord, I must have 20kgs.
I swear I am getting worse as I get older. Not even taking the kids so only packing for myself!

Ask yourself a question Louise every time you put something in your case ‘ just in case’ ?
Am I likely to need it ?
Even if I happen to need it , can I buy it where I am going ?

If the answers are no to the first or yes to the second , don’t put it in

Enjoy your trip

Honfleur is gorgeous. We went to a lovely restaurant there, may have been called Red Roof.

You can never have too much Louise! Always build in a couple of spare outfits for spillages. Also at this time of year the weather is so unpredictable and it’s best to be prepared for every eventuality
