Having spent approximately 24 hours over a number of days trying on and ironing practically my whole summer wardrobe, today is the day I pack it! I tend to put the heaviest clothing in the case first building up to the lightest and over the years I have folded them in half, laid tops flat and those which have sleeves, just folded the sleeves over or rolled everything into "sausages" (oh boy, what will Dennis have to say about that) but the results are all the same. On reaching my destination and unpacking my case, I find that everything is creased! So frustrating especially as I take hours and hours to pack everything so carefully.
For years I holidayed with a friend who had a completely different take on packing. She would fold trousers in half then throw everything else haphazardly on top. We would arrive and unpack and her clothes would be fine and mine ......let's just say I wondered why I had taken such care and slaved over a hot iron for what felt like a week!
I look around at other holidaymakers and see that their clothing looks just ironed whereas mine look as though I have slept in them! :-):-) how do you all do it?
Instead of taking hours and hours packing today I am going to give myself just two hours (I think I might be kidding myself here) and hope for the best. Who knows, less care may result in a "just ironed" look but if you are in Skiathos over the next two weeks and see a woman in wrinkled clothes the chances are it will be me! :-):-):-)
