Packing Lists

I’m getting ready to attend the Washington Romance Writers upcoming retreat this weekend at Harper’s Ferry, MD. On Friday, I’ll be signing my first book at Turn the Page Bookstore and Cafe in Boonsboro, Maryland from 11:30-2:00 p.m. (please come so I won’t be lonely! :cheer:)

So last night I started my packing list. It makes me neurotic trying to remember what I’m supposed to bring. After one trip when I forgot to pack my son’s underwear, I’ve learned my lesson. Poor boy. And no, I didn’t make him go commando. I was planning to swing by Wal-Mart, but my mother (whom we were visiting) does laundry every day, so he managed. Still, I felt so awful.

I’m definitely bringing my camera, so I hope to share pictures, industry gossip, and fun stuff with you next week.

What about you? When you go away on a trip, do you make a packing list, or do you just figure it out by throwing it in a suitcase?
