Packing for Alaska

8/24/08

I’m leaving for Alaska tomorrow to work with a client in Anchorage, but I thought I would blog and share my next few months here.

Back in May, I started working out of the NorCal office with my firm and am just getting settled in to the South Bay Area. This weekend has been gorgeous as always. I will miss the wonderful climate…and salsa dancing. I am, however, definitely looking forward to a new experience.

At the moment I am packing. Summers here in the Bay do not require warm clothing (and I have not had to wear hose since I’ve been here) so my focus is to take clothes that I can layer. The weather in Anchorage over the next week is scheduled to be in the mid 50’s and rainy. I am limiting myself to only 2 suitcases and my laptop bag. My flight lands in Anchorage around midnight so I want to have as little as possible to have to carry. All of my travel travel arrangements have been made and my apartment so I just need to focus on packing. So far I have a few business suits, heels, a pair of sneakers and my umbrella. Gotta remember my heavy jacket too.

Enough blogging for today…back to packing!
