WGJ Travels: Packing for Florida In November


Yay! It's about 10 days until Florida and I am starting to pack. 

The problem with packing for Florida in November is that I honestly don't know what to pack.  It's been in the 70s here in New Jersey and while I keep an eye on Accuweather, checking it each week to see if the weather has changed, I cannot gauge what to pack.  (What a problem to have huh?!) 

As I am writing this on November 8th, 12 days out the range for the weather is between 64 and 76 for the highs and 44 and 52 for the lows.  

My gut is telling me, jeans and layers, which seems reasonable. BUT then the problem is, shoes! I know my idea of boots is out of question but then do I bring sandals? I am planning on my running sneakers and my boat shoes but I want a third option. Maybe a pair of flats that would work with the clothes I brought?

Usually, I plan my outfits out to the detail and while I have kinda an idea, I am worried about being too hot or too cold.  Our plans for this vacation are to relax and explore. I know the place we are staying has a gym so I am hoping to take advantage of that as well. 

Here is a preliminary outline of what I plan on wearing:


After the trip, I will update the planner with the outfits, I actually wore. I left off the boring necessities and toiletries...no one wants to read about that!

I am really trying to be a more thoughtful packer and its really hard to do. Those memes about girls overpacking is real! 

Now, I was excited before creating this packing list but making my outfits is making it feel even more real. I hope to gather most of the toiletries and necessities during the week and then Saturday morning finish packing. 

I am deciding if I want to bring my backpack on this trip. I am hoping I will have enough room in my suitcase for my laptop, charger and other miscellaneous items that would normally be stored in my backpack. I am planning on listening to a podcast or a book (shocking I know!) on the plane ride and since we have a short time between flights, I don't really need anything special. 

I will most likely bring my blanket again, that was very much welcomed on the plane.
