Packing for a Holiday

Whether you see it as a chore, or something really fun that helps you plan your trip and fill up with excited anticipation, packing is necessary and a fair bit of work.
I'm off to Barcelona for a week with school tomorrow. I'll be back next Saturday but I'd say I've been packing since last Sunday! You begin with the clothes and then slowly remember all the necessary bits and bobs that simply have to come. There's all the errands, like phone charging, and currency and tea bags (just because). Try to take joy from your packing, you only get to do it once! (Maybe sing a song about it?)
Well, I do have a lot to do and prepare for, all ready for tomorrow. I am really excited, there's so many brilliant things planned! I'm sure I'll have lots to say about the Spanish city when I get back!

I don't mind packing, and whenever we go somewhere I'm always packed a little while in advance. Even when I'd only been out of hospital a couple of weeks before we were going away for my brother's wedding I managed to be packed and ready before anyone else had even thought about starting their packing.

Have fun on your holiday. :)

Ah packing, it use to be fun when it was for one, but now it's for 5 it always feels like a chore-all that endless counting out pairs of knickers and socks! Not too keen on all the washing on our return either. However, the part inbetween, now that makes it all worthwhile.
Barcelona I'm told is a wonderful and beautiful city. I look forward to reading your impressions.

Oh I'm the worse packer! I wait til last minute and then forget a ton of things. And then I always pack too much. Have a great time in Spain! You're the fifth person I heard is traveling there. Can't wait to see the place myself someday :)
