less than two weeks!

Soooo.....

It's been a while.

But we're leaving in less than two weeks!!!

I'm super excited.

A new friend of mine is letting me borrow her backpack that she used on this same trip a few years ago. When she left it was only 10 pounds. When she came back it was only 15. My goal is to meet or beat that.

I doubt it'll happen. But I'm gonna try!

A few weeks ago for our final, we had to pack everything we were going to

take and go on a 30 minute hike around town, including going up and down stairs and hoisting our luggage up above our heads. Everyone packed pretty light. Mark was impressed.

I was hoping I could just keep everything I had packed in my suitcase until we left for the trip....but I wanted to wear some of the clothes that were in there. So I wrote down what I took out. But it's definitely not a comprehensive list.

Now I have a completely different set-up to work with. It'll be interesting. I'm pretty sure I'll prefer the backpack though.

Less than two weeks! I'll try to keep you updated.
