Packing for 6 months? Lord help me...

So as you may or may not know, I am getting ready for the ultimate vacation; 6 months of seeing the world! I am truly blessed that I have been given this once in a lifetime opportunity to do so, courtesy of the boyfriend.

With that said, nothing in life is free; I have to figure out how I'm going to fit 6 months of clothes, shoes, toiletries while still having room for all the souvenirs I will acquire while visiting the ports of call. Right now I have a selection of dresses (cocktail and casual), tanks, skirts, dress pants, shorts and of course bathing suits!!! The suitcase is getting fuller and heavier by the day as I omit, add and re pack and I haven't even begun tackling the shoe situation!

Please wish me luck.... I'll need it :P
