Mystery Trip

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!

    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…

    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.

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