I am realizing how difficult it is/ will be to pack for myself and three kids for this upcoming trip to Jamaica (and honestly starting to panic a little bit). I am packing now for our two month stay in Williamsburg (I was awarded a NEH Challenge Grant through the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation). We leave in four days and I still don’t know how I’m going to get everything we need into our luggage bags and a few boxes.
This has me freaking out because if I can’t pack for the four of us to survive in Williamsburg for two months where we will have access to the same basic amenities that we do here in Charlotte, then how in the world am I going to pack for the four of us to stay in Jamaica for 4 to 6 months? We will have to take EVERYTHING to Jamaica (or so I hear) from clothes to linens to kitchen appliances to lamps to extra toiletries and first aid kits… well, you get my point!
Kenric says I just need to take enough for 2 weeks when I go to Jamaica… I laugh at that (and he does to I’m sure) since he is talking to the woman who carries 3 luggage bags (for me AND the kids) just to spend 2 nights away from home.
In the end I will probably have to ship a couple of boxes to Jamaica and stuff Kenric’s extra baggage with our stuff (all he needs is a change of clothes, underwear and a toothbrush anyway, right).
But enough with me worrying about packing for Jamaica… I need to figure out how I’m going to get all this stuff to Williamsburg.
