I have never been on a plane. Scared is what I am. When we go somewhere it has to be by car or train or ferry.

Nore- I live about 5 hours away from Lily Dale, NY (going west from where I live).
Since you live in Erie, you're pretty close by.
Did you ever watch the show "No One Dies In Lily Dale"?
Very interesting and the town looks so quaint.
One day I will go (by car :facepalm.
What did you do there?

Hi all, Just checking in and see there hasn't been much going on. Anyway, I'm trying to pack for a trip, not a good thing for me. I'm totally OCD about packing, almost to the point of having a panic attack :scared:. Don't ask me why, but I dread packing to the point that it has interfered with my desire to travel for the past few years, it's such a daunting task I'd rather stay home... :facepalm: Now, we're going from winter weather to warm tropical weather, which makes it even more complicated and me even more crazy. :scared:.
So, from anyone who might be willing, prayers please. I feel like I'm losing my mind so need all the help I can get. TIA lease:

I always over pack. Each has a duffel bag and then I add an extra bag (with everything any of us might need) just in case anyone's bags gets lost.

What all do you have in your purse? I have a bag with four games and a car charger for my Gameboy.

a zipper pencil case with two decks of card;a pencil and small tablet to write on,

a small bag of wipes,three packs of Kleenex, germ killer and hand lotion and a pair fold able pair of ballet flats

a bag with my Atomic fireballs, Jolly Ranchers, and peppermints.

a bag with a fingernail file and clippers,toothpaste, dental floss and a small toothbrush,

a small sewing kit, a box of matches,safety pins, bobby pins,and a small folded up trash bag (in case any one needs to barf) with rubber-bands around it.

my last bag holds a flashlight, Vaseline lips gross,billfold and a small change purse. it weighs a ton, but I can't leave things behind.

I always have to make sure of the what if's the weather changes, or someone gets sick, or almost anything else I've got covered,but I dread that packing ,too.

Look forward to the good time you'll have spending time even with those that need love the most.

Smile at strangers as you walk,, look for a good deed you could do. Something as small as opening a door, or letting someone go ahead of you at the store because they only have two or three items. Sometimes we entertain angels unawares.

Don't over pack. Lay everything out of what you plan to wear. Think about what you could wear twice and put those extra clothes back in the closet. Roll everything it travels better and believe it or not you get more into the suitcase that way. As much as I travel I always brings clothes home I did not get a chance to wear. But I'm getting better. lol

Have a great vacation.

Thanks for the suggestions, LC. That's my biggest problem is narrowing it all down. I'm a "moody" dresser, so I never know what I'll wear from one day to the next, yet, I am fairly predictable too, so, it really shouldn't be that hard for me. Which is why it's just so ridiculous, lol.

I hate to pack, also, so, I don't like to travel either.
I think it has to do with- what should I pack, what will I need (2-3 pairs shoes, how many changes of clothes, etc.). I don't like "living out of a suitcase".
I don't like having to worry if there are bedbugs where I will be sleeping.

I stay at home where everything is convenient and I'm set in my ways, old bag that I am.
Boring, I know. :floorlaugh:

That's how I"m getting, Yes, it's more convenient to stay home. But I used to always love to travel, that's what has me worried, lol. :scared:

I think I get nervous leaving my home. I think of everything I love at home and can't bring with me. eg: kitties

I love flying too, but then I worry if i'm going to make the airport on time, will the plane be late? and just things really that are out of my control.

Me too, Elle, I have to leave my baby dog. We always keep our trips to no longer than a week because we can't stand to think of leaving him longer than that. And still, I feel guilty leaving him. And, as you mention, airports especially, totally out of my control. :facepalm:

Anyway, thanks for the support guys, it really does help, I'm actually making some progress, slowly but surely. You should have seen my closet earlier, clothes, shoes, hangers, strewn everywhere :floorlaugh:

Oh wow, you sound like me, always prepared, the girl scout motto. I should be considered the official bag lady, everything but the kitchen sink .... :floorlaugh:

Of course it is, it has an actor from "Game of Thrones" in it (Richard Madden).

Glad to see him in something again, he did not fair well at the Red Wedding:tantrum:....

I forgot it was on tonight though, I watched the finale of Sleepy Hollow and a carpy hockey game and the Aussie Open (I am a channel flipper). Will have to watch the re-airing.

Don't tell me too much ElleElle, but where is the story set? TIA:seeya:
I am a huge fan of "Deadwood" and I hoped it might be similar.

I was filmed in NW Alberta, Canada. About a 5 hour drive from here and in the spectacular Rocky Mountains!

That's all you get!

[neesaki]

Wow, thanks to you guys I got the majority of my packing done, :loveyou: One big problem, I have seven pairs of shoes laid out :facepalm: I need to eliminate at least one pair don't I ? I just love shoes and think I need them all darn it, :tantrum: Flat sandals, wedgie sandals, water shoes, walking/running shoes, black ones, brown ones....

 

[Nymeria]

I will Josie. If I remember correctly you are Scottish, and I could listen to that accent all day long :blushing: (Don't get me started on Ewan McGregor!)

I think you might not like it where I am though, it's 8 degrees F and feels like -3 with the wind chill :cold::tantrum:

[LambChop]

How is everyone making out with the snow?? We are suppose to get one inch.

:hills::snowman::snowflake::coldout::snowball: :Banane49:

 

[Ricki]

Only one inch, Lambchop. You are lucky. Weather says we are getting 5 to 8 and maybe a foot east of us. Roads are slick. 95 accidents already reported through out the state. I really don't like the snow but the frigid weather is much worse, especially since it is going to stick around for at least a week. Bring on Spring, please.

 

[Kensie]

No snow here but I am cold, tired and grumpy. It is cold outside.

Hi Niner, I have a penfriend in Maghull England. Her husband was a Bobbie in Liverpool. Dennis used to eat lunch at a Pub where the Beatles practiced when thet were up and coming stars. Dennis thought they were the cleaning staff at the pub. Love Love Me Do!! :loveyou: P.S. they appeared in Cleveland.My SIL went..I'd say 8.50 or so. I cheat, I am not a BB..

Nore, are you referencing a song? I'm not sure, maybe I'm just dazed and confused, so what's new, right ? :floorlaugh:

However, when you say "Lonely" and "Bobby" it reminds me of that old song "Mr. Lonely" by Bobby Vinton. I used to love that song, way back when I was 10 or 11 years old I think. It's kind of sad though, makes me feel a little, uh, lonely. :giggle:

Gods help me for knowing this, but I think it is Bobby Vinton?
(My mom saw him in concert and met him on her first trip to Vegas in the late 70's, so I have knowledge by association, lol!).
