A Packing Nightmare!

Our big European vacation is almost upon us and I haven't even begun to pack. Ugh. Really, I would like to transport most of my wardrobe with me, but alas, that is not possible.

So, what to pack?  I know that I need comfy shoes in Switzerland because we'll be spending time in the mountains and doing a little bit of hiking.  I also know that it may be colder up in the mountains so I need to pack warmer clothes while were there.  I think layering is the answer here....

So in Paris, it will be in the upper 70's to mid 80's, which I think is perfect weather for strolling and shopping, and eating!  This also means that I can wear dresses, pants if it's chilly or raining, skirts, etc...the possibilities are endless.  And, don't even get me started on the heels and sandals I want to take....you know I gotta keep up with the Parisian women!

The question is, how do I pack everything I need and not over pack?  Is it possible?  I know the answer is yes, it's just a difficult task.

Any packing tips or advice is much appreciated!

    Plastic packing bags. Squeeze out the air. It's amazing, and your clothes aren't wrinkled when you unpack them.

  2. Plan outfits. You don't wanna overpack, so you don't wanna pack a shirt you're not gonna wear.
