The Eve

Written August 12th, 2012

Tonight is our last night before we start our trip. It is late and I should probably be sleeping. Moreover, I should actually be packing since it is the night before we leave and I have yet to do that. 

Since I last wrote (quite a long time ago), I have said good bye to Bellingham. All of my belongings now reside in Brian’s garage. I have spent the last week hanging out with friends, family and nieces as much as possible. Today I said all of my goodbyes. I think it will be hardest to leave my nieces because g-chat will not work in quite the same way for them. However I am also getting excited for the trip. If I were packed I would probably be more excited…

One of the difficulties of packing is that we have very limited space, but I will be there for 3 to 4 months. I can’t bring everything, but if I bring too little I will wear the same clothes over and over… so how much to bring?? So far I have set aside what my parents can bring up when they visit us in September (the coldest clothes) and I have packed my road trip bag. Now I just need to pack the ‘everything else’ bag…

I haven’t really done much road trip planning…. Laura did do some, enough to get us started. I figure I will do more once we’re on the road… :)  That is when we will have the most time that can’t be spent packing, visiting and saying good bye. It seems like the perfect time to plan!!!
 
Now I am really tired so I’m going to go to bed…. Goodnight!
