Friday 5 - Packing

Haven't done a Friday 5 for a while. So here goes!

  1. How far ahead of time do you begin packing for a weekend trip? If I don't start packing the night before, I'm guaranteed to forget something. I use the time between to check off the mental checklist.
  2. What was your most recent purchase of a six-pack? Bitch Creek Extra Special Brown by the Grand Teton Brewing Company. Pretty good stuff.
  3. What do you look for in a good everyday backpack? One without a boatload of 'extra' pockets. I have one now that has one large section, a mid-size and a small pocket. Plenty for me. This one also happens to be a 'rolling' bag, primarily for air traveling people. If I had to carry it much more on my recent trip, I probably would have used the rolling feature.
  4. Among people you know, who’s the worst packrat? I have some very good friends in CA who have 4 kids. They keep everything. They have a 3 car garage they can't even fit one car in. They're lucky if there's a path to the door. (I love you G&D.)
  5. How do you know when it’s time to pack it in each evening? When I don't want to be awake.

  1. Had to laugh about (not AT, but say, WITH) your friends. It was having 5 kids that made me give up my packrat-ish ways. I didn't have the room to be sentimental about all of their precious stuff...or mine :-)

  2. What a funny question - as if everyone has a preference about backpacks. I'm a compulsive de-clutterer - once it reaches a certain level of chaos, things have to go.
