The hot part of the day takes time to get to, like 4 pm and even later! &nbsp; So a sweater or jacket is really advised until noon…. &nbsp; Crazy weather to dress for. &nbsp;Today, I woke up to 57 degrees, at 9:30 am now it is 66 degrees, but at 4 pm it will be 91!<div><br /></div><div>Hope all goes well with your son’s surgery. &nbsp;Enjoy the local coffee and food carts- amazing :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203853 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 12:25:48 +0000 kkards 2203853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m add a sweatshirt, IMO hospitals are COLD and there is nothing worse than sitting around a hospital waiting, waiting, waiting, and shivering, you can’t control the waiting part, but you can try to control the shivering part.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203825 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 05:15:22 +0000 slim cat 2203825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good plan for minimal packing. I used to put second tee shirt over first one and then - denim shirt for extra insulation in case of some temperature drops ( simple second layer makes a difference ).&nbsp;<br />Maybe a light weight scarf - optional ( for the flight ).&nbsp;<br />I like the idea of one more pair of pants - just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203820 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 03:54:28 +0000 Jenn 2203820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone kept telling me how cold hospitals are before my last two trips involving hospital time with my parents, but I didn't experience that. <br />Still, any time you're spending a significant amount of time somewhere with climate control out of your hands, it's not a bad idea to bring a topper or scarf, and &nbsp;I'd think your denim shirt would probably be just fine for that purpose.&nbsp;</p> <p>My one hesitation is in line with&nbsp;<b>rachylou.&nbsp;</b>I don't think I'd want to put my hospital outfit back on without a wash, so if the AirBnB doesn't have a washing machine, I'd consider having a separate pair of pants either for the hospital day or for the flight home. I wouldn't count on getting workout time in during this kind of trip, but if that's your sanity and routine, I get why including the gear might be a good idea.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203791 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 01:02:26 +0000 JAileen 2203791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it still heat wave-y? &nbsp;We’re coming out of it by this Tuesday. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Yes, hospitals are cold! &nbsp;Good luck to your son.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203776 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 00:32:04 +0000 Tanya 2203776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overall it sounds like an excellent plan.&nbsp; &nbsp;I would take a lightweight jacket/cardigan in case it gets could in the hospital.&nbsp; I am always cold in the airports. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203733 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 21:37:35 +0000 Jonesy 2203733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good! Agreeing with others about how insanely chilly hospitals can be, maybe bring a light sweater for the hospital day? Good luck to your son! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203722 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 19:21:11 +0000 Anonymous 2203722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a pair of your olive pants!</p> <p>Hope his surgery goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203720 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 19:16:06 +0000 Glory 2203720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will you need a jacket ? I’m not sure of the weather there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203699 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 17:21:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2203699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For myself, I’d want more variety than 3 black T-shirts, but I know some people prefer simplicity in their travel wardrobes. I bet the ruched dress you &amp; Nuancedream both have would fit into this capsule. Do you do yoga every day? You could wear regular clothes for your walks and then perhaps only need one workout bottom piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203698 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 17:21:07 +0000 rachylou 2203698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate thought is: you will want to get out of and wash, immediately, anything you wore at the hospital(!)</p> <p>Lol. Hospitals are germy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203689 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 16:59:40 +0000 Staysfit 2203689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The denim shirt is a wise choice especially if you spend time in the hospital. &nbsp;They are often cold….. &nbsp;Also, almost everyone in hospitals needs lip balm, ( in my climate), so you may want to bring some for for your son, and for yourself as well! &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203660 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 14:43:37 +0000 MsMaven 2203660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks practical and comfortable to me. Seems like a decade since ive Been near an airport. Good luck to you son—hope all goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-travel-capsule#post-2203655 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 14:14:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2203655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coming week, Mr.soon-to-be CS and I will be flying to Portland and back to support my younger son through some major (elective- he isn't ill) surgery. I'm starting to think about what to pack, and wanted ideas and opinions. </p> <p>The weather is expected to be hot (90-100°F). We are flying in Wed night, and back out Sun afternoon, so two travel days one day at hospital and two recovery days at a local Air B&amp;B. Other than errands related to food/medicine, we will just be at the Air B&amp;B. </p> <p>I'm not checking a bag, so space is limited, but I have a nice weekender backpack with a separate shoe compartment and laptop sleeve (I'll be wfh Thu, Fri). </p> <p>I am thinking of bringing two workout outfits (sports bra, leggings, sleeveless tops, socks and running shoes), for taking walks and doing yoga. I don't mind wearing the same outfit two days in a row to save space, but I don't think I can go more than that. For flying out, I was planning on my olive green draw string pants from ON, a black graphic tee, and a denim shirt (which can be tied round my waist if not needed, or used as a topper for warmth) with slip on shoes. I was planning on wearing the same pants to the hospital the next day, and also for the flight home. I have two more black graphic tees that I will bring. I think I'll add jeans for back up. For the two days sitting around, I was planning on denim shorts, and swingy tanks. I'll bring sleep shorts and tanks for sleeping, and add a lightweight robe for lounging since weare sharing the Air B&amp;B with my son and his partner. I think I will also add another pair of house shoes.<br /> It's been so long since I've traveled anywhere!<br /> Thoughts/Opinions/Experiences? </p>
