packing for Italy & restlessness.




the butterflies in my tummy are starting! I think it's a mix of excitement and the 3 cups of coffee I've allowed myself to have today. 
My best friend and I are the only two going, so we decided it would be a good idea if we packed in carry-ons. This is so we wont lose bags/have to check in and wait in lines. Now, for an average girl, it would be hard to pack for 8 days in Italy. But for me? IMPOSSIBLE. but I proved myself wrong! I actually managed to do it! ( with the help of vacuum bags. )

Here are a few photos of the makeup I'm taking and the other is for my "entertainment" carry-on.



Not bad if I do say so myself...


packing playlist:
The Penalty- Beirut
Postcards From Italy- Beirut
Fly Me To The Moon- Frank Sinatra
Sé Lest- Sigur Ros
tons of Yann Tierson
If Only I Had A Way- Timmy Curran

i'm starting to pack for spain soon and there is no way i'd be able to pack my stuff in a carry on.. i usually pack WAY too much when i go places though!

question: how did you put your makeup/liquids (don't you have shampoo or anything like that) in your carry on with the new security?

Caroline said...

bianca- thank you! im very excited to finish reading it.
ana- sure i'll trade links! i've lived in italy/traveled there my whole life. i know the streets of Firenze better than I know my own town here in the US. haha :)
anonymous- thanks! as for the makeup/liquids, i bought little shampoos and what not, so im hoping i should be alright. if not i'll just buy some when i get there. i think i'm allowed to take the makeup though...at least I hope!
