I'm a little envious of the trips I see fellow bloggers enjoying or planning or remembering. Steph went to Paris, Design Mom is going to Mexico. Both offering fabulous tips on what-to-pack for such lovely and exotic vacations. But, if your travel plans include a thrilling visit to Idaho between now and June, here is what you'll need:
Big, warm, not-necessarily-cute boots. Traction, warmth, and water-proofing really say "style" in this locale. Stilettos this time of year will only invite mockery. And likely injury.
Thermal underwear. Which can double as pajamas, because if you have to pack those boots, there won't be room for much else.
Vaseline. Your average body lotion is useless; you'll need industrial strength moisturizing against the refreshing arctic breezes.
Cozy hat. Really cozy. Fashion statement optional.
ATV or Snowmobile. Everybody has one, or both. Everybody. For getting from point A to point B, snow removal, or for pulling sleds full of children through the neighborhood. So, you might as well arrive in style.
Friendliness.
When in Rome? If you want to blend in with the locals, be nice. And carry a tool of some kind. Folks around here are friendly, and they all know how to build stuff and fix stuff and live off the land and stuff like that.
