Packing Zen

If you have to sit on your suitcase to close it,

that’s not overpacking. 

That’s Compression Technology.

Pack one pair of underwear for every day of the trip.

Plus 3 more,

for situations we will not be discussing.

Roll your clothes instead of folding them.

They’ll still be wrinkled,

but you’ll feel accomplished.

Leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs.

And by souvenirs,

we mean questionable purchases.

Pack the swimsuit, yes that swimsuit.

You’re on vacation,

nobody back home needs to know.

Sunscreen goes in the suitcase.

Regret,

goes on the back and shoulders.

You don’t need six pairs of shoes.

However,

You will pack six pairs of shoes.

Pack something stretchy.

Buffets,

have consequences.

Stuff socks inside your shoes to save space.

Your feet can,

contribute financially to the trip.

Pack a small carry-on with immediate needs.

Your luggage may arrive late,

but the cocktails are ready now.

If you’re asking, “Do I need this?”

The answer is no,

but pack it anyway.

Put an AirTag in your luggage.

Trust issues are cheaper,

than replacing your wardrobe.
