I could fit everything in my carry-on size suitcase, and am still debating internally over which one to bring. That one is definitely easier to wrangle. But I think this one is going to win because it leaves so much room to acquire things.
Tonight involves a lot of rolling and scrunching as I try and pack whatever I need for the next 9 months into a large suitcase and backpack.
Flight leaves at 10:15 tomorrow morning, I fly down to Sydney and then across to San Francisco. Tomorrow I'll try wrangle a window seat, I'm really hoping I'll be lucky because otherwise my camera will get very little use on the airplane. I'm also unsure how to do my 365 because I'll be having August 23rd twice.
No smiling tonight since I'm not exactly happy about leaving home, friends and family, just waiting now for the pure excitment to kick in
We're leaving for Don Pedro Island, Florida on Saturday. I thought I'd get a head start on packing so I don't forget anything. I think I have just about everything...what do you think?

Such asbestos-containing materials were commonplace not so long ago and can still be found in use today.
Relocation and Strong Clothing Packing Methods
Packing for a move can be a complex process that can make you feel like you want to pull all your hair out. Figuring out all of the safest and most efficient #packing methods can be a pain. It can be especially frustrating to have to pack valuables correctly. Most people own many clothing items. If you want to pack your clothing prior to relocation, you need to take matters seriously. Packing apparel for a move isn't the same as doing so for a trip or #vacation.
Most people own clothing items that are particularly precious. If you want to keep your clothing in excellent condition after packing, you have to rely on effective and smart practices. If you don't, you could end up dealing with some unsightly tearing, creasing and wrinkling. People who want to avoid potentially harming their clothes during the packing process need to exercise ample caution.
Don't Dillydally
Aim to pack your clothing up as soon as possible. Rushing packing your #clothing can be a massive mistake. It can lead to lack of care. Lack of care, in turn, can lead to careless methods and tearing, creasing and wrinkles galore. No, thank you.
Organize Your Clothing in Advance
Organization is critical for clothing packing success, no exceptions. Don't simply randomly throw your clothing into any cardboard boxes you see. Organize your clothing carefully and meticulously. It can help to divide your clothing up by season or general category. Put winter items into designated boxes. Put lighter attire into their own separate boxes as well. This can keep later confusion out of your life.
Know All of Your Choices
Recognize all of your packing choices. Your goal shouldn't involve simply acquiring cheap moving boxes. It should involve investing in the right boxes for your upcoming relocation. Explore all of your available choices in wardrobe and cardboard boxes alike. Look into suitcases and trash bags as well.
Be an Economical Packer
Everyone knows that #moving can cost an arm and a leg. That's why the smartest packers are the ones who figure out how to reduce their costs in many different ways. If you want to pack your clothing and minimize your expenses considerably, you should figure out how you can avoid paying for boxes. There are definitely many stores out there that sell moving boxes. Their prices are often extremely steep, though. If you want to steer clear of outrageous moving box prices, you can stop by grocery stores near your home to ask if they have any free options on hand. A friendly employee may just give you a few.
Apparel Tends to Be Durable
Packing items can be stressful. The good news is that clothing packing isn't the hardest job out there. Clothing tends to be on the durable side. If you're in a hurry and a clothing item falls out of your hand, you don't have to panic and break a sweat. That's because clothing won't shatter into a thousand tiny pieces.
Clothing Is Usually Pretty Light
There are many items that weigh a lot. Furniture can weigh a lot. Household decorations can in many cases as well. Clothing, however, is a different story. Boxes that hold clothing aren't usually a pain to carry. They're generally pretty manageable.
Getting a quality and robust adhesive with noise free feature is an added advantage when you are struggling with varying carton sizes and in a desperate intention to make your valuables safe during packaging. These all purpose Packing tape dispenser are very easy to use and effective for small domestic to big commercial purpose.

If I can't get it down I'll have to use my bigger pack, which doesn't fit as well and tends to give me nasty bruises...

Trevor preparing for his business trip to Phoenix, packing up his suitcase.
I still have SO MUCH TO DO. But today I sorted alllllllllllllllll the jewellery EVER, and colour-coded all of it. Pink is for 1:6 scale and blue is for 1:4 scale. I still have to do my table gifts, and cut and glue together all the Starbucks and Bloomigdale's bags EVER. SO DOOMED.
This week’s guest is Rick Wartzman. Rick is the director of the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University. Before taking this post, he worked for two decades as a newspaper reporter, editor and business columnist. He began his career in 1987 at The Wall Street Journal, where he served in a variety of positions, including White House correspondent, Houston bureau chief, and founding editor of the paper’s weekly California section.
He joined the Los Angeles Times in 2002 as business editor, and in that role helped shape “The Wal-Mart Effect,” a three-part series that won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. He then became editor of the newspaper’s Sunday magazine, West, which under his leadership was named by the Missouri School of Journalism as the best regularly scheduled feature supplement in America. He is the co-author, with Mark Arax, of the best-seller The King of California: J.G. Boswell and the Making of a Secret American Empire, which was selected as one of the ten best books of 2003 by the San Francisco Chronicle and one of the ten best nonfiction books of the year by the Los Angeles Times. It also won, among other honors, a California Book Award and the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing.
