I've packed my woolens and water-tights, a month's-worth of heavy hardcovers, party favors for 4th July (including stick-on bindi that spell out U S A in red white and blue sparkle dots), Lady Gray tea, printer, battery chargers, diary and glue stick.
Nice thing about Maine packing - nothing remotely strapless needed. No peasant skirts, no faux-indian tunics, no massive sunglasses. Same relief I felt packing for India/Nepal - if you can wear it every day, or every item at once, all the better.
Was thinking about those aspirational packing features in the glossy magazines and lifestyle catalogs like VIVRE. Following their lead, I would have turned to the classic preppy section of my closet (as distinguished from the boho st. barths or the glam ibiza sections) and piled my canvas duffels high with white linen pants, french sailor tops, espadrills, Fred Perrys.
There's a reason LL Bean is in Maine.
God I can't wait to be there.
