THE IMPORTANCE OF A PACKING LIST

The "Packing List" to the traveler is not unlike the recipe to the chef. It is the guide to the adventure and when used correctly can make the whole process efficient and easy. Start by identifying where, when and why you are going somewhere, remembering the sooner you start the list the better. I often start my list weeks in advance. I don't write it down all at once but add to it as I think of things, keeping the list in the very suitcase I will use on my trip. My packing list might include the following:
1)  Date of trip
2)  Location and climate
3) Length of trip and type (business, vacation, cruise, ski, family, etc.) 
4)  Underwear   
5)  Pants            
6)  Skirts            
7)  Dresses        
8)  Sweaters     
9)  Coats             
10) Shoes         
11) Stockings, socks, belts
12) Medications
13) Makeup       
14) Toiletries, combs, brushes    
15) Bathing suits and coverups
16) Misc.electronics(cords,charging docs,ear plugs)
17) Misc./other 
To make the whole process go even smoother, go to my website: www.mimipackslight.com and answer the "Questions" in the header bar and fill out the "Daily Charts".
