Two Weeks in One Suitcase!

Today I left for Seattle and won't be back home until Sunday, October 5! That's the longest I've been away from home. And, what makes it worse is that I am not traveling with anyone for most of this time. No Maverick :-( I'm with a few co-workers, but only for a few days while we are attending a conference. Then, they all leave Saturday/Sunday and I still have a week by myself!

Have you ever packed for 2 weeks? and tried to fit it in only one suitcase? That's right, I had to pack two weeks worth of clothing in one suitcase because the other suitcase that I still had to pay extra for was already reserved to hold my materials for college fairs (viewbooks, inquiry cards, etc.) That was one of the hardest things I ever had to do because I had to pack for professional dress and colder weather. That's right... it's currently raining in Seattle. I thought I would finally get to experience this great city with sun, but unfortunately I was wrong. But that's okay... I still love this city, even during the gloomy times.

So, back to packing for two weeks. It's hard! All of my clothing is now very wrinkled. And the thing that makes this even harder is that there are two times during this trip that I have to pack up those dirty clothes because I have to get on another plan to go to another city. On Tuesday I fly to Spokane, Washington and then on Thursday I fly to Portland, Oregon. And then finally I get to fly home on Sunday, October 5.

I'm sure I'm going to have fun during this trip, but right now I'm exhausted and I can't wait to go home!
