Packing List for CD Staycations or CD Trips

Sorry for not been able to update my blog as regularly as I should. July and August have been quite a busy period. There were a few topics that I wanted to write on but I was just stalling it as I have to handle quite a few bit of issues on my family and personal front. I have to say, 2024 has not been as smooth sailing as I wanted it to be but I will survive somehow. Just that I will have less time and energy to live out as Francesca…

Anyway, the topic that I wanted to share is items that I usually pack whenever I go for a hotel staycation or a CD gathering. I hope that by creating this checklist can help CD sisters who are new, to plan and get the necessary items ready to have a good dress up and dress out session or gathering.

Normally, I will have two or more separate pieces of luggage depending on situation. For light travel, I will try to confine to a maximum of two pieces of luggage. I will have one bag for my male persona, one luggage for my CD stash. Like if I am out for a short staycation but never took leave and I wanted to show that I am “Working-From-Home”. I will bring my laptop along under my male persona baggage. However, normally I will not wanted to bring my laptop along as it is additional weight and burden. If I am just staying in a hotel to dress out for the night and leave next morning, I will pack the minimal and use a cabin size luggage instead of a big roller case luggage with my make-up kit bag stuffed inside the luggage. 

Anyway, here is the list of items that I will usually pack in the respective bags or luggage.
