It's so much easier for men to pack, and I don't think it's because women have more clothes, but rather that we need more clothes. Point #1: bras. Trust me, if I didn't need to wear one, I wouldn't. But I do, and they range from sports bras to strapless bras to bras without seams. So which ones do I bring? One of each? I'm certain a good bra is one thing I cannot find in Peru.
Point #2: overgarments. I am more easily affected by changes in weather: I can experience the shivers to a hotflash then back to feeling cold again all within several minutes. I can't wait for menopause. So should I pack front opening things over pull-overs for the convenience? A scarf or a wrap?
Point #3: shoes. Shoes ARE a necessity...who wants to walk around barefoot? The dilemma is which types of footwear to pack...Flip-flops, sandals or both? Boots, tennis shoes or both? Nice shoes for an evening out? Bathroom shoes? Black? Brown? Tan? Leather or rubber? Open toe vs close toe? Compromise and bring a peep toe?
Did I mention everything has to fit into this, which fits in an overhead compartment:

Good luck packing! I have no advice, but I like your bag! :)
i don't think it's going to fit in the overhead compartment w/ all that stuff in it!
eeeeeek! it's such a pain to decide what to bring... we just went through this. Jarrod's clothes take up SO much more room. I can bring three times the amount of stuff b/c his clothes are just bigger and take up more room & heavier! Bring one pair of nice shoes to go out (brown or black) I think I chose gold cause it went with both?, 1 flip flop set, 1 tennis shoe and 1 other random day shoe for walking or casual dinner. All the bras & undies you can bring should be brought. You can wear dirty clothes, but dirty undergarments are a no! I think that's the advice I have for you!!
great advice steph!
I'm surprised to hear someone who is so afraid of growing old say they are excited for menopause. Hmmm....
