Packing is. Bitch! There is no other way to put it. And packing for a month is even more challenging. Ok men, I know you don't have this problem so you can quit reading now. However, for women it is more challenging. I want to be fashionable and yet comfortable, to pack enough but not too much. And I can't deal with wearing the same thing over and over and over! So I made lists, and more lists, and edited. I'm probably taking too much, but I still have room to add purchases for my return.
I highly recommend Packing Cubes for such a trip. Mine are zippered mess top cubes in various sizes that fit perfectly into my suitcase ( mine from e-bags.com). They cubes prevent your stuff from moving around and keep things in order if your bags are inspected. I use one for pants, one for shirts, one for sweaters to layer, and one for underwear. Once you arrive at your destination, they can easily be popped into a drawer for easy access. I use small make-up bags for everything else. In my carry-on I have my iPad, pajamas, meds, and an extra set of clothes "just in case". Now.....just to pop these all into a suitcase, double check my list, and I'm off!
