Happy Birthday and Traveling
June 26th, 2008
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Dear Julie, Happy Birthday to you. My daughter Julie is flying home to Utah from Washington D.C. and arrives 20 minutes before her birthday. That’s right; her flight arrives almost at midnight (yawn) on her birthday.
After a few days of R&R she is off to Tanzania Africa for two months. She works for the Peace Corps and that is all I know about what she will be doing there.
And what does all of this have to do with organizing? I think a perfect birthday gift for her will be a
On The Go Travel Companion - Black Vinyl Travel Bag
travel organizer.
The one I particularly like has ten transparent zippered compartments to keep all her items neatly organized in an easy to clean durable vinyl covering that folds flat to fit in her suitcase. The handy metal hook allows it to hang nicely on a closet rod or on the back of a door. When I travel I hang mine in the bathroom on the towel rod. It is out of the way and everything I need is all in one place.
Another suggestion I have for traveling is to type up a list of things you need to take on your trip, print out a copy for you and other family members; mark off the items as you pack and nothing will be left behind. Keep the list on your computer so it is ready to print the next time you travel. If you forgot anything this time when you return home add it to your list.
What kind of traveling tote do you take with you?
