Mystery Trip

February 9, 2008

What do you pack when you go on a trip? This week the Illustration Friday theme is “Choose” so it seems appropriate that I’m trying to choose what to take. Whenever I go on a trip, I take waaayyy too much, and then when I get there, nothing matches, it’s the wrong season, or I spend most my time wishing I’d brought something else or shopping for something I’ve forgotten.

And what if you didn’t know where you were going? Tomorrow I leave on a mystery trip. I have no idea where to. I’d check the weather, but I don’t know were it is. The funny thing is, it’s kind of fun not knowing! Guess I should stop drawing and start packing.

    Oh, I have often the same problem: what can I put into my travelling bag?
    Very often I put at risk…all my house! Funny but indeed truthfull concept! I like this colors selection.

    Thanks! I struggled with the colors for a long time, before settling on this combination. It’s kind of hard to make about drawing about clothes that don’t match without making it really ugly!

    Great work! Fun stuff. Are you really going on a mystery trip? Sounds cool.

    oooh… I just went on a mystery trip in January! It was really fun, hope yours will be too! Pack light, bring all black bottoms, that’s my advice…

    Thanks Natalya, where did you end up going? I’m curious to hear about other mystery trips.

    ooooooooooohhhhhhhh, WHAT FUN!!! Have a great time! I can’t think of anything more romantic! Yeah, black bottoms are a great idea! and just think, you can always do some shopping, so bring an empty suitcase or two along just in case! ;-)

    Mystery trip? - that sounds like so much fun. I think I would have better luck packing for a mystery trip than a known trip - like you, I don’t do very well.

    mystery trip sounds…mysterious. ;) the packing dilemma totally resonates with me. usually take far too much when it’s just myself. as long as I know the weather, I’m usually okay. when it’s my husband and I on a trip, interestingly enough, we often pack using the same suitcase. it’s like a fun challenge we create for ourselves. let’s pack a weeks worth of clothes and shoes in the same bag. so far it’s worked out.

    Mysterie trips are great! I got sent on one yesterday and wound up flying an airplane! Hope yours was wonderful as well.

    How fun, if you really had no idea where you were going! Very trusting.
