Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!

Here's a tip-- vertical boondocker storage!

LOL, I been trying to get outta Dodge since Sunday AM, but a surprise car repair delayed me-- till I got the pieces RIGHT!

Too much stuff, too much stuff, too much stuff.... gotta sleep in there....too much stuff.... gotta sleep in there....too much stuff.... gotta sleep in there....

Oh. That closet rod, NOT the more-usual deep laundry hamper that usually starts each trip full of clean stuff and ends it full of stuff to wash. Where I'll be staying is where it's warm enough to use the van as the closet-- step out each AM and grab the day's clothes. 'N I kin sleep under that pole-full, so I'm hanging everything so it'll hang "high" (pants folded). Just in time for hubby to hand things out to me to hang!

Because there is a solid reason for each and every item I am taking (long trip, lotta ministry/music opportunities as well as a training I'm attending and the people I have plans to stop and meet for anti-racism program contacts). I'd already miniaturized each kit as much as I could, and it's STILL "too much stuff" (including a huge and heavy sculpture-gift to deliver to one relative who's putting me up). But now it's just the right amount of stuff!

TBTG for sunlight to get my brain into REAL travel-gear. I almost left last night in not-ready mode-- whew! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Now I WANT to go!
