The Adventures of Team Merrill in Naples, Italy

Packing the suitcases for 3 months

Leave a comment


We have 2 days left in our house before we move into a hotel.  We will be in a hotel stateside for a month and then in a hotel in Naples for likely 2 more months before we move into a rental home/villa.  My goal for the day was to pack suitcases for myself and kids for the next 3 months.  No small task.  My husband packed his own suitcase and did his own laundry because I don’t and wouldn’t do it up to his standards.  I consider myself somewhat neat, more like I live in organized chaos.  But my husband on the other hand is OCD neat.  I laughed out loud when I saw our two very different suitcases.   I don’t think I could fold clothes as neatly as he did even if I tried and tried again.    Whose is whose?
