Before many of my clients go on trips, male or female, they bring me in to pack them in an efficient manner. I make sure they only take what is necessary and everything can mix and match. I did this for myself before my two-week trip to Greece. In fact, I had a date the night before I left and the fella made a surprised comment on the small size of my patterned suitcase. When I inquired about his shock, he replied, “It’s just every girl I have seen will pack just about everything they can throw at a wall.” Once I recovered from the offensive comment and gave him a swift kick to the arse, I decided to write a blog about what I packed and share some of the photos. My apologies for the non-fashion based images, I just thought they were fun.
