1. Six pairs of shoes for three days? Yeah, probably overkill -
shoes take up a lot of luggage space. Are you flying?

5. Oh. Well, in that case, toss the shoes in. You never know which pair
you might be in the mood to wear.

:D

8. Oh, well if you're dirving, then go for it.
If you were flying with one suitcase, I'd say you were nuts, but I tend to bring as much as I can when there are no space constraints. It's nice to have a choice when you get there.

2. do you identify 'boy' or 'girl'? because, sexist as it is, it matters.

Edit: oh, SKIRTS not SHIRTS.

No, not overkill if you can fit it.

*Yes I know this person could identify as 'boy' and still pack skirts...*

10. It depends on your schedule...
As a rule, it's always better to be prepared for the unexpected.

If I was in your place, my packing list would probably be- 5 suits, 5 dress shirts, 5 ties, 5 shoes, 10 socks/underwear, 5 belts, 6 t-shirts, 2 shorts, and 2 jeans. I would adjust it if I planned on going to any nightclubs or other "dress-to-impress" occasions.

14. Not if that's all you're packing.
But you might want to look into some underthings, a good shirt or two, a sweater, maybe a jacket or cardigan...a toothbrush, a comb...

22. Why not just ask the RNC to buy you new spuds when you arrive in town?
Promise to give it all to charity when you leave town. Saves on packing.

23. Yes, it's too much.
But what the hell. If it makes you feel better to have all those extra possibilities, why not?
