I think women tend to overpack. I always overpack but I never regret it because I always have options.

I really want to try that Barney Butter. it looks so good on your site, but it’s just soOo expensive! I can’t bring myself to pay $8 to $9 dollars for one bottle.

I always overpack. No matter how much I prep ahead.

Remember to avoid Serendipity!!! Take it from a NY native.

Caroline, what’s your food blog? I always like to read about others’ sojourns to my fair city.

Glad to hear you’re back on the train! I think that having those junk food days are good for us, in a strange sort of way. When I get off track one day and pig out on junk food, the next day I really appreciate the healthy decisions I make even more. It’s amazing how different your body can feel, too! Staying on track every single day is pretty difficult and those “slip ups” are needed to remind us we’re human!!

Excellent breakfast. I’m still dying to try Barney Butter!

I used to be a terrible overpacker but now I’m a lot better at it. When I went to China last spring I had to make sure I made the weight limit and left it empty enough to pack some souvenirs. Like Caitlin, I pack one particular color scheme. I brought only clothes that coordinated with black and instead of bringing entirely different outfits for different occasions, I just bring a couple of layers. For 2 days I would just wear a cardigan that matches the shirt I travel in and the two I bring for the weekend. That seems to be enough and still prepares me for chillier weather.

I always over pack, but in my own defense, you can never be too prepared! just never know what is going to come up and need to wear, etc.

way to go on the awesome run this morning!!

I used to travel a lot, and over the years, I have become a very lightweight traveler. In fact, now I have the problem of UNDER-packing! haha. Some of my tips; Pack just your basic make up. If you don’t regularly wear red lipstick, you sure as heck won’t need it on vacation. Pack lots of undies! But you don’t need four pairs of pants! Wear the heaviest shoe you are going to take with you, and pack the light ones, like flip flops. If it’s cold where you’re going, don’t take your pretty camis you “might” wear under a sweater. You won’t. And if you’re going somewhere warm, don’t pack your cute sweater. You won’t need it. annnnnd stuff like that.
Have sooooooo much fun in NYC Tina

Pick a small bag to pack in, and remember that souvenirs have to go somewhere too:)
