3 weeks away!!!

Wow, things are really starting to get real!!!

Now is the time that I have to whiddle down on what exactly I am bringing on my trip.

I have started out a whole double bed of stuff and am actually bringing quite a bit, I have read so much about what to bring and what not to bring over the past year that I am hoping that I am not over packing.

If I bring too much, well.....I will donate sometime to someone over seas who needs it....pay it forward!

All of my stuff has to fit into 2 bags......

• Large Backpack

• Small Backpak

How is it going to fit???

This is where the fun really begins lol

How in the heck am I going to put all of this into 2 backpacks???

I figured I could put a lot of the clothes and stuff into zip lock bags, but then I read about being a PAIN IN THE ASS if you get to a hostel late and you are the one making all the noise with the plastic bags.

So I sucked it up and bought packing cubes.

BEST DECISION EVER when it comes to packing a bag. Normally I can fit a lot into smaller suitcases but these are worth it.

I bought 2 sets......one with 3 slim packing cubes from Ebags (these here) and then I also got these 3 (here)

I can get 5 or 6 shirts into one of the slim ones, and about the same for shorts and what not. I think I am going to be pretty well off.

I will post the kinds of things that I am packing as I get closer, because someone out there somewhere is going to go through what I am going through and people can always use the help :)
