Journey to Topaz

If you had ten days to evacuate your home and could take only possessions that you could carry
in two suitcases, what would you take and why? What would you do with the possessions that you
had to leave behind?

I would take my clothes, bandanna, and money for survival. Also, I would take all my leftover Halloween candy so I could eat it at the camp. So I wouldn't get bored, I'd take my DS and books. All the stuff I wouldn't take, like my bed, video games, and other things, I would sell.

If I had ten days to pack, I would bring a picture of all the pets, friends, and all the people I knew, so I could remember them. I would also bring food, my phone, a Swiss Army knife, which I will use in dire situations. I would also bring a lot of warm clothes(duh) so I could be prepared for anything. I would also bring a notepad , all of my favorite pens and pencils, and a take-along game center for entertainment. I will bring lots of books, and textbooks, so I could keep up with education. Lastly, I would bring a snug mattress and snug blankets.

I would carry my clothes-unless my family will take care of that. I would bring my most prized possesions in case the soldiers go to the house and steal them. I would bring my favorite books like Tom Sawyer. I may also bring some snacks in case my family gets hungry.

If I had to evacuate my home in ten days i would take clothes, a diary, one toy, and pots and pans for cooking. I would take the clothes and pots and pans because they are essential needs. I would take the toy for play and amusement and the diary to write about the evacuation, where I was going, and how life was there. With the things I had to leave behind I would either give them to a friend for safekeeping, donate, or sell.

If i had to evacuate my house in ten days, I would bring my blanket, Blankie. She was my first toy, and I got her two days after I was born.I would also bring my bedding and my pillow, because I am allergic to feather bedding. Of course, I need books, so I would pack the longest books I could find. Also, I would pack my journals to write in, and bars and candy and fruit in case I got hungry. That is what I would bring.

I would take clothes, one toy, a journal, pens and pencils, a pencil sharpener and lead, a few favorite books, my DSi, my DSi charger(just in case if they have a power outlet), my violin (i'll just carry it), a thermos or water bottle, some snacks, tissue paper, and blankets. I also would get a plastic empty ball with a door and put one or two of my fish in there with water and then smuggle it in with fish food. I would take clothes, thermos or water bottle, blankets, some snacks, and tissue paper for survival. The toy, DSi, and DSi charger are for amusement so I won't get bored. The violin and favorite books are also for amusement, but also for education. The journal, pens and pencils, pencil sharpener, and lead are for recording what happens, for doodling, writing letters, and for amusement (again). Finally, for the fish portable tank and fish food, it's so that I have a companion, not be lonely, and for amusement. As for what I have to leave behind, I would either sell them in a yard sale, donate it to Salvation Army, or leave them with a friend to keep it safe.

If I had 10 days to evacuate and could carry 2 suitcases, I would take 1 suitcase with all my clothes, blankets, sheets and pillow. The other suitcase will include food, water, some travel dishes, my diary and any money I have at home. I would also take photos of my family, pets and friends. Some important things I will take along are a knife, a flashlight, camera, and some medicines.
The things that are left behind, I would give to my family and close friends. After I sell some items, I will give the rest to charity.

If I had ten days to pack, I would bring;a bandana, for dust storms, some food just in case they served you too little at camp, a journal to write or draw in just in case I'm bored, a picture of our house just to remind myself about all the fun times I had, and finally bring a few puzzles or books to get something to do for fun. I would give the items I can't pack to close friends and sell it at a yard sale. If there are still items left, I will give them to charity

If I had ten days to evacuate my house, I would bring a pillow, a blanket, some money, some food, a journal, some envelopes and stamps, a flashlight or knife,a couple pencils or pens and clothes. I would bring the blanket, clothes, and pillow for warmth and comfort. I would bring the money for survival and the food in case my family or I was hungry. The journal, stamps,and envelopes would be for writing each daily event in and for writing to my close family and friends. The things I would have to leave behind would be my bed, any valuables, computers, furniture, and many other large objects. I would probably sell them or give it to a close family member or friend to keep it safe.
