Getting packed

Since Wednesday morning 
we are flying to California, 
we decided that today 
was the day we better 
start getting packed!

George brought the suitcases
out of the basement of the RV..
and we proceeded to go
through all our clothes.

Before we did that, 
we took a look at the 10 day
forecast for the area 
where we will be staying.
Beautiful weather!
So we packed mostly
warm-weather clothes,
and a few things 
for the cooler nights.
Of course we shipped 
our wedding clothes via UPS.
While we had all our clothes out, 
we packed away our
shorts, tee-shirts,
and other summer wear.
We had bought 'space bags'
to save space.

They are great!
They make all these tee-shirts..


In this bag..


Get very flat..


Now all summer clothing,
2 pillows & extra comforter quilt,
are stored under the bed,
with room to spare!


Hopefully they won't be
too wrinkled when they
come out next spring :-)

  4. I packed our winter things in space bags and also wondered how wrinkled they would be when we unpacked them. They sure save space.

    Hope yours do better.
