Check out these links for some great packing tips. Can you pack for a week or more in ONE bag?

I don't like the bundle way of folding clothes as it makes it too hard to get out ONE item when needed. Depends on if you are unpacking and staying in one place for awhile or not.

The second link has lots of other stuff . . . like negotiating discounts . . . .
most of my friends would be totally embarrassed if I did that, but they'd love the savings, now wouldn't they!
I love meeting people when I travel; just one of the advantages of often traveling alone.
Cheryl on the other hand has much more cheap entertainment with her girls. It's a trade off.
I can eat cheap, sleep in places with character, and then splurge where I want.
We can discuss this further on Conversations at Intersections blog too.

ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to adopt this as a new whole new way of life. I must remember not to neglect...
asking for what I REALLY want.
"I really want you to UNLOAD the dishwasher."
"My desire is to gaze upon a neat and tidy bedroom."
I'll let you know if it works.
ASK FOR WHAT I WANT?????? What a life lesson. I am not a martyr, just think there are too many rules and "right" things to do that I do not get to the things I "want". In addition I don't want to want a lot of things so I think I limit my attention on figuring out what i want. FInally, for many many years it was never going to be about what I wanted so I stopped thinking about it because it only made me really really sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat do i want? Ask for what I want? Negotiate to "get" it. . .
WHole new life lessons for me.
I know two , maybe three things I want. Ask for them. . . ? How do you do that? I mean seriously? Inspire me with your bravery! I wan to ask for somehting but I am relaly scared. I am going to do it- I just wish I wasn't shaking in my boots while I do it.
