Well, it’s getting down to the wire and I’m busy packing up my suitcases for Queensland. I don’t know about you, but I’m always curious about what other people pack for a trip, so I thought it might be fun to show you some of what I’m taking with me to Australia.
I’m trying to pack as light as I can. I’ll only be there 5 days and with some really long flights on either end of the trip, carrying around a lot of luggage isn’t something I want to do.
Here’s what I have packed in my bags so far:
-This Fuji Film underwater camera that I’m looking forward to trying out-
-Eye drops, my favourite floss, warm weather clothes with a jacket and some cardis thrown in-
-I’m bringing along my new Gracie Butterscotch Jo Totes bag-
-I’ve been working in these new barefoot shoes from Merrell the past week and I’m absolutely loving them so far! I can’t wait to really get them dirty on the trip-
-melatonin, earplugs, my cute travel notebook and some good old Canadian chocolate–
I’m making some headway, but still have a lot more packing to do.
What am I forgetting? What must have items do you take along when you travel? I’d so love to hear!
I invite you to follow me along on this exciting journey from Canada to Queensland, Australia. I’ll be sharing updates throughout the trip and you can stay in touch with me here:

From an Aussie that often has family holidays in QLD, I’m here to remind you to pack SUNSCREEN!!! You’ll need it. I know you’ll have an amazing time – it’s a beautiful part of the world!
OH!! And sunglasses, and a power adaptor for anything that needs an electrical socket (phone charger, camera battery recharger etc)
Well, you might want to take the lollies in your hand luggage and eat them on the plane! We have VERY strict rules about anything edible coming into the country and it’s totally not worth standing in the ‘to declare’ line’ for lollies (and we have aero here!). In fact there are sniffer dogs at the airport! I love Queensland, in fact Noosa, Queensland is my favourite holiday destination.Happy travels.
For Queensland I’d pack sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat 🙂 I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful trip…it’s a beautiful part of the world.
wow! your packing skills are awesome. i wish my suitcase looked as pretty as that when going somewhere!
I wanna know what you’re wearing to dinners at night! 🙂
See you soon!
I hope you have a wonderful and exciting trip… and not too much luggage to carry.

Suitcase organization is one of my favorites. =) I love seeing how far I can stretch my wardrobe and how creative I can get!
Have a fantastic trip!
Sunblock! That Aussie sun is very different than here in the states, even for a California girl like me! 🙂
If you have time to shop, there is a super cute store called “Typo”. It’s kind of like a “Paper Source” but so much better!
Have fun!!
so organized! maybe stop by vegas on your way and bring me that mint aero (by far my favorite canadian chocolate!):) have so much fun.:)
Australia is heading into Winter now, so pack for wearing layers.
