The challenges of packing for a trip

In a previous blog, I told you about how much I depend on my color detector in my daily life. This little friend also plays a very important part when I prepare for a trip.

The challenges of packing for a trip for me are that I need to ensure that I can find what I am looking for. No different really for a sighted person but for me there is the additional challenge of ensuring that I know which tops go with which bottoms. So I take lots of time to pack my clothes and arrange them in such a way that I can easily find matching clothes.

I always pre-designate each corner of my suitcase for something specific. Shoes and slippers go in one corner. I place my night clothes and casual stuff in another corner. Another corner is reserved for my dress clothes and the fourth corner is reserved for my toiletries. I have learned to be more specific and thorough with my packing ever since losing most of my vision.

I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and urging you to go out there and share my words with others. Come visit me at www.sterlingcreations.ca whenever you have a free moment.
