As a child my family travelled once a year. It was the highlight of our spring. We decked ourselves out in our “Sunday Best” since my mom believed those at both broadway shows and airports deserved to see us in our finest. I vividly recall my younger brothers wearing miniature blue blazers – gold buttons and all – on every flight. It’s a tradition I have held onto to this day. I always try and look “pulled together” when I am en route. The outfit above is my ideal. Layers are key since airports are usually heavily air-conditioned. Healthy snacks are also a good idea (no Auntie Anne’s buttery pretzels for this girls). And magazines are included for the inevitable “airport delay”. I remain true to my camera geek ways – even on the airplane. There is almost never a trip when I don’t catch that “We’re off!” picture of all of us buckled into our seats for the scrapbook.

And below for your viewing pleasure I have included my packing pics. I fancy myself to be a pretty efficient traveller. It’s all about organization and packing outfits instead of pieces. Bon voyage!
