Packing

How does one pack for a 10 day trip that starts out camping in Oregon, proceeds to Corporate headquarters in Philly and ends at my sister's home in Ft. Wayne, Indiana? Stupidly, that's how. Since I just finished my packing about 4 hours before we got here [what...me procrastinate?], I thought I'd share my thoughts on packing for the mixed-use itinerary:

• An already tough packing assignment only becomes harder when, with regards to camping, your girlfriend tells you to "pack for rain...lots of it". Great...plastic clothes. Those should come in handy at Corporate. 
• "And oh...in addition to rain, it's supposed to get down to 42 degrees at night." Water sports AND the first snowfall...Have you guys ever considered a beach vacation?
• On top of everything else...I am packing in 103 degree heat in San Diego. [Have I mentioned no air conditioning in the house?] When I finally get to Philly, I am going to wonder why I have all these tank tops packed.
• Rita tried to lend me a pair of her sweatpants to wear "just around camp". Capri fleece sweatpants...they're all the rage. No, no wait....capri fleece sweatpants with the elastic gathering at the calf. [I think i saw them at the Wreck League] Ummm....camping is no reason to start looking like a troll around the fam.
• I don't need to pack the coffee pot, do I? Because between plastic clothes and coffee...I come down on the side of Folgers.
• I hope I grab the right bag at each leg of the journey or else it's pumps at the campfire and water wings at the office
• The Diet Cokes barely fit.

 Enjoy your weekend. Assuming all goes well....next post should be on Tuesday.
