This is what I packed to see Greg's family in Kwazulu Natal:

This is what I wore for 37 hrs on VERY LONG FLIGHTS to get there and back. Washed the lot before heading back in the same outfit.

Greg's parents live in a small beach town on the South Coast of Kwazulu Natal. Think tropical Africa. Magnificently naturally beautiful. This is far away from Mediterranean, urban and extremely pretty Cape Town - where they used to live and where Greg grew up. I've lived in Cape Town too.

My travel capsule worked perfectly for a warm Spring (cooler at night). I wore everything except my yellow coat. Very happy feet! I felt fabulous in my outfits and enjoyed the last bits of warm weather for the year.

My travel outfit was very satisfying. I felt comfy, polished, trendy, casual yet reasonably dressy, active, and pulled together. Nothing that I wore creased - and two of the four flights were 14 hrs long.

No pics of my outfits because it just worked out that way. But here are some pics of our trip nonetheless:

#1 - Travel capsule
#2 - Square donuts in Dubai
#3 - Tropical Fabness
#4 - Inspiring
#5/#6 - Along the coast and beauty everywhere
#7 - Lots of tea, of course
#8 - Seattle coffee follows us everywhere though
#9 - Us
#10 - homemade South African crunchies. A favourite.
#11 - best sunrises and sunsets are in Africa. No contest. Outside our bedroom window. Just another beautiful day.
#12 - sand artist
#13 - beach bird
#14 - waterfall
#15 - monkeys on the road and in the back garden
#16 - my MIL made these adorable place mats for us, which we used right away for supper at home in Seattle last night.
#17 - the souvenirs (which you might not get unless you're South African, British, have lived in South Africa, or have South African friends).

Thanks for looking. xo
