Off to Japan!

Getting packed to go for 2 weeks to Japan! It's been so long since I've been there (5 years!) that I'm not even sure what to pack. Japan has beaches, mountains, city, and people tend to be waaay more fashion-conscious there. In the past I've brought a couple of check-in bags with me so I could cover all my bases, but this time I'm traveling super light. One carry-on only!

I usually way over pack when I travel and end up just lugging a lot of stuff around with me, so this time I'm trying to keep it to the basics. It is summer and most of the clothes take up less space - which is helpful, but I've packed: 4 pairs of shorts, 6 t-shirts, 4 long dresses, 3 short dresses, a pj set, 2 bathing suits, 3 cover ups, 1 pair of sandals, 1 pair of sneakers (2 pair of socks) and 1 pair of slip ons. Obviously toiletries etc too. Everything manages to fit so yay! I hope this is enough to cover every scenario....

I have a straightening iron that has a polarized prong so I'll have to pick up an adapter when I get to Japan because their plugs and voltage are different there.

I'm also bringing a collapsible travel tote as I am planning to do plenty of shopping while in Japan. This way I don't have to buy another bag while I'm there, but I can still bring back all the things. I have a big carry-on purse with earphones, gum, chapstick, ibuprofen, a face mist, 4 books, and a notebook and pen to help keep me occupied on the looooong plane ride. I also have a smaller purse in my purse to use for day-to-day trips when sight-seeing etc.

Early to bed tonight for the 6 am flight ~~ and tomorrow I'll be in Japan!!! I am so excited for all the food and fashion and all the things!!!!
