Does anyone want to pack for me?


Packing is hard.  Like, really hard.

That pretty much sums up how this week has gone.  I think over the course of the past few days I've pulled out a pile of clothing each day and subsequently gave up and did something else.  Since I'm leaving tomorrow that doesn't seem like much of an option anymore...

The war-zone that is my bedroom 

But because of all the procrastination, I've spent a lot of time brainstorming how I was going to pack.  I think my most genius idea thus far is the socks inside of my new boots.  When you have to pack 4 months of your life into two suitcases, you have to save as much space as possible.  That's pretty much all I've come up with so far, but I'll take what I can get.

This is the best I could come up with

I didn't really realize how much I needed to do until yesterday.  There were a lot of little things I had been putting off which all hit me at once. Because of that, I had my fair share of mini meltdowns, but I'm more calm at this point.  With adding travel notifications to my cards and getting pictures for a visa, it's all just a lot.

Believe it or not, my flight leaves tomorrow night. It's finally started to hit me and sooner or later I've got to get myself in gear. We start our flying adventure at JFK with a 7ish hour flight into Lima Peru.  After that, we've got a pretty long layover where we're trapped in the airport, followed by another 5ish hour flight until we finally reach Buenos Aires that evening.  It'll be an adventure, but I know I'll survive through it.  Hopefully I can sleep on our overnight starter flight. I think the thing I'm most looking forward to is the weather. It's been ridiculously muggy and hot here at home, and the 50-60 degree weather when we arrive in BA is going to be fabulous.

That's really all I have for now, I'll post again next time I have stable internet/time once we've arrived and are settled! A jam-packed week starts on Sunday already.  ¡Adiós!
