See, I didn't walk till I was 2. I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was 10. I didn't get my license till I was 23. On my way back from studying abroad in London I almost ended up in Trinidad. True story. I make silly-stupid mistakes when I travel. I forget my native tongue. I drop things, heavy things. I lose scarves (hello Heathrow airport circa 2004). I leave my fly unzipped and then walk down the aisles of planes smiling. I really don't know how to get a move on.
So, when it came time for me to pack for this trip, I had to mean business.
3 weeks + 3 cities = 1 carry on bag and freakishly large "purse/personal item"
The big picture (minus 3 button up shirts that were in the wash)...holla!
A tapestry of over-packing...and pineapple floristry...
My bling with an elephant theme.
I decided to bring some comfort flicks for the trip. I have netflix, but sometimes a gal needs some portable coping mechanisms. What did I pick?
1. Funny Face: A gawky young lady travels abroad
2. Almost Famous: A gawky young man travels abroad with rock stars
3. The Trouble with Angels: Two gawky young women get in trouble in a nunnery
4. Sabrina: A gawky young lady travels abroad and becomes Audrey Frickin' Hepburn
5. The Sound of Music: A gawky young nun travels abroad,finds love, avoids Nazi, meets some orphans -> Good times all around
6. The Music Man: A dapper traveling salesman travels and takes a small town by storm
7. Now, Voyager: Betty Davis has a nervous break down, travels abroad, and comes back Betty Frickin' Davis
8. African Queen: An awkward minister's sister and an awkward drunk travel down an African River...and fall in lurve
9. Tangled: An awkward long haired lady breaks out of her tower and has a good time doing it
9. Elaine Stritch: The most amazingly talented bad ass ever performs...travels across a stage...remains a badass while doing so
MMMMM do we se a trend? What are your favorite motivational flicks?
