I swear I really was finished packing my suitcase last night, but I stayed up until midnight to do so. I was too exhausted (and busy!) to upload my pictures until just now, but here they are.
The Final Cut:
In the Bag:
My Goodies:
And my special project before:
And after:
And here's the final packing list:

- 5 dresses (1 cocktail, 2 sundresses and 2 "dress up or down" dresses)
- 1 bikini

- snacks (peanut m&ms, peanut butter (no PB in Europe!), beef jerkey, granola bars, goldfish, gum and Crystal Light)
- laptop and accessories
- cameras and accessories (compact and DSLR)
- pillow (I cut up an old sweater and hand-sewed it to make a comfy pillowcase for my free Sleep Number travel pillow)
- puzzle book and novel (The Memory Keeper's Daughter)
- travel Burberry wallet (slings around the neck for safekeeping)
