I am nearly packed and ready to catch a morning plane to San Francisco. I'll be meeting four lifelong friends there to catch up, reminisce, explore and laugh until our faces and stomaches hurt. There may also be a trip to Napa Valley wedged in there somewhere. How I love times like these!
I'm learning to pack lightly and I think I'll make this trip with just a tote/purse and a backpack. Seems easy enough for a long weekend, but it required unprecedented planning on my part just the same.
Here are a few things I like to have with me for comfort when I travel:
A small notebook and two pens
A scented travel candle with matches
Blueberry Vanilla & Cashew Kind bars (an easy gluten free snack)
A kindle (easier than taking a stack of books)
A current New Yorker magazine, this time I'm taking Anthology magazine too
My camera, laptop, iPhone and earbuds
A few bags of tea, currently peppermint, in a small handmade daisy print drawstring pouch (a gift I cherish)
Inner Peace energy mist by Lotus Wei
A few stamps to send postcards (regrettably, I often stall at good intentions here)
A soft wool throw for the plane
A small tube of L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
Water
Tic tacs
A good bar of dark chocolate
And a sleep mask to cover my eyes
What are your travel comforts?
Wishing you a weekend filled with giddy laughter...
