Packing

Packing for any trip is a pain in the butt.  Packing up a backpack to live out of for five months is a bigger pain.   What size bag to I need?  Will it be big enough? Will it be too heavy?  How many shoes?  How many socks?  Do I really need a hairdryer?  And the list goes on.

It's amazing to realize what you can and can't live with out... or THINK you can and can't live with out.  Twelve hours until my flight and the bag is almost packed.  I'm definitely bringing more than three outfits, but I really did decide to leave the blowdryer at home.  We will see how that goes.

The first stop is London.  Tomorrow's forecast is Strong Storms & Wind, with talks of tornadoes.  Let's just hope we get there...
