Just Keep Packing, Packing, Packing...

I feel a little like Dory, actually.  That is, I suffer from short-term memory loss - I forget things almost instantly - or at least I think I do, anyway.  Every time I start trying to put sweaters in one pile, I find a pair of jeans and get distracted, and start trying to organize a pants pile.  Then I mix up which pile is "to pack" and which pile is "not to pack."  Then it occurs to me that there are several things I really should get done before I leave, and they might require some things being unpacked.  All this to say that I don't know much about packing for international travel, but this I can advise:  Don't do it how I do it.  Done.
