Packing for Vacation

Good Day Travel Fans!

I know it has been a while since I've blogged about wonderful places to travel to, but my next trip was worth the wait!  It's been a busy first quarter 2014 at work, and now it's time to reward myself with some play time!   In just about 48 hours I will be on my way to......

Tahiti!

Yes, I have to go far, far away to a desert island to recover from working too much LOL!

However, before I can do thisimgres.jpg 

Or enjoy something like thisimgres.jpg 

I have to deal with the dreaded packing job! - Ugh!  My least favorite thing to do for a trip!

For this trip we are taking a cruise, so the packing should be easy - right?  We fly in to Papeete and get on the Pacific Princess.  We do not have to move around a lot, like our ground trip adventures!  We are going to spend most of the time in and on the water, so bathing suites, cover-ups, casual clothing all the way.
