Packing is a chore, no matter how well one does it. On our last trip in February, I packed a baggie of tea bags...then did not find what I did with them until the very last day of our trip when we were repacking to return home. At least it wasn't something essential. Enjoy your trip! jlcjbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790798402432484057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-31344356282459560272023-03-18T10:10:00.930-04:002023-03-18T10:10:00.930-04:00How fun to have a St. Patties Pub wedding!

What if you spill ketchup on the sweatshirt? What if the temperature drops too much at night? I am obsessive when it comes to packing and I certainly understand your concerns regarding your son.
