Traveling is awesome and something I wish I did more of. Getting out of our little bubbles in New Jersey is important.

While there are many great things in and around our area it's important to get out and see what the rest of the country and world has to offer.

That being said, the absolute worst part of traveling is...

The packing! 

With Thanksgiving coming up this week there is sure to be tons of travel around the Garden State, but all over the country as well.

It doesn't help that I'm also a chronic over-packer. I'm finding things in my closet that I haven't worn in years, convincing myself that I should for some reason bring it with me on the trip.

I insist that I bring as many things as possible just in case I need them. Spoiler alert, I never need half of the things that I pack and I always feel like an idiot for packing as much as I do.

Then comes the doubt that I'm forgetting something. That doesn't usually creep in though until I know I'm at the point of no return. Probably once I get to the airport.

Hopefully, you don't have this happen to you during your travels this week.
