The days are numbered! And I am packing. Due to all the use of public transportation and moving around we are doing on this trip, I had a goal of just taking a backpack (and only backpacks for the kids also). I got a great bag on Ebags (here) that I have been using for my trips to Chicago, so I planned to use it. I will have laundry facilities available days 3-9 on the cruise ship, so I will do at least one load of laundry.

Here is what I have packed:

• 2 Dresses
• 1 Short Romper
• 3 Tank Tops
• 1 Pair of Shorts
• 1 Pair of Capris
• 1 lightweight kimono
• 1 swimsuit
• 1 Pajamas
• 1 Pair Brown Sandals
• 1 Pair Black Sandals
• Tennis Shoes
• 2 pairs of Sunglasses
• 2 pairs of earrings

Also, I will have laptop (for school, and to try to keep up here), kindle, chargers, toiletries, fanny pack, school papers, water bottle, and travel documents. I am debating if I need another purse in addition to fanny pack. I plan to utilize Dan’s backpack for day trips.

I plan to wear capris, tank top, kimono, and tennis shoes on plane. I plan to buy a hat in Barcelona as a souvenir.

I will report back how this all works out for me 😉
