Well, here we are.. 2 days before I take off on an adventure of a lifetime. All along I thought I was ready for this, no problem, it's going to be fun... but I think the reality of the situation is setting in and all I can think about now is... "WOW- I'm really going to be gone for a year!". But.. 10 minutes later and I'm excited again thinking about how incredible this year will be.
For the past 3 days I've spent 21 hours running errands and shopping for last minute essentials to make sure I'm prepared for this, which is a joke in itself because I don't think one can ever prepare for a trip like this.
Basically, I'm taking a backpack filled with nice shoes and clothes, cute hair clips, camping gear, bug spray, mosquito nets, and safari attire. The range of stuff I have is a little ridiculous, but I have to pack for the greek isles and the south of france and also for thailand, cambodia, and africa. Don't ask me how, but I'll find a way to fit all of this into a Gregory backpack (thanks for shopping with me Amy!).
I'll let you know how this goes...
