Enjoy both the bag and the friend!
Thank you, I did. :)
The madness continues...:smash:
Silly World packing tips:

1) packing cubes are bigger, when full.
Dazzled by shop displays, of flappy neon storage options?
3-4 cubes for most carry-on size bags.

2) tiny packing cubes = useless.
Need each sock & bra, inside a separate zippered packing peanut? Seek professional help.

3) safety pins are to travel, what zip ties are to cycling = essential fix-its.

4) plan for stink & spills.
Fill small plastic bottle with detergent & bring clothesline (paracord) = sink/tub laundry.

5) bring 1 big, soft scarf.
No filthy airline blankets, outfit color & warmth, modesty in churches, carries picnic food.
Plus whipping it & yelling, "Yeehaw!" confuses feral dogs & suspicious groups of children--just long enough.

6) rushing tampon/etc. purchases, in unfamiliar places, ends tragically.
Pack enough.
Then pack more.

7) smartwool socks & thermals.
Omg, yes. :hbeat:

8) comfortable shoes = top priority.
Will not "break in."
Pinching & rubbing before trip? Buy other shoes.
Preferably waterproof. With good tread.

9) snacks save lives.
Starving, disoriented & jet-lagged?
Eating questionable stuff, in desperation, ends tragically.

10) running out of/losing anything (except snacks & tampons) is not end of world.
Pack too little shampoo & hand lotion. Let pickpockets have a glove or trivial coin purse.
No biggie.
Then enjoy another adventure.:broom:
Very good rules! I never pack with so much thought. Esp. when it comes to certain ladies' products.
Got a chuckle just thinking of that.
My hubbie not fazed either. Has been known (in the old days) to pick up chocolate, InStyle magazine and a 36 pack of fav brand when necessary. An important characteristic in a mate.
True!
And you def. need to buy yourself a vag to celebrate DD's birthday.
