We are going on a trip and you would think that packing for just two for just a few days would be SIMPLE.....NOT! The reason being, two people on a motorcycle...one motorcycle. Yeah, everyone sees the nice bag saddlebags on the sides and think 'that's a lot of room'....well I am here to tell you - it ain't! They look big on the outside but when you go to put stuff in...just say'n, it isn't easy for a female to pack for a road trip!
We have gone before and know that I overpack...yes, me! I find after each trip a few more items that I truly don't have to take. Trust me, there is clean undies for me and the husband for each day - that I won't sacrifice - nope, no way, no how! We have found that jeans are wearable for a couple of days depending on how long the trip is. Gotta have a clean shirt each day. The toiletries are probably the hardest thing to put together...I am more fortunate than some females - I don't need stuff to do the hair -- when you ride, you get helmet hair! Just keep it cut really short, spritz a little water and it stands back up again! Then you have to throw in a bit of rain gear.....just in case -- ever had on soggy clothing - not fun but it do make a great memory!
And that is what this is all about - making a memory, seeing something new and have some great stories to tell on what we have seen. Just simple stuff - riding on the back of a motorcycle - who knows, I might get some really great pictures to post. Here's to getting stuff ready for the upcoming trip!
