Checking in here before I start my online check-in for my flight that leaves JAX in T-minus 19 hours!! That's right, friends, I leave tomorrow! I may or may not be still packing. If you know me at all, you already know the answer.. still packing!
I just wanted to give this site/blog a trial run so that I know it works and can get a feel for how/what to do on here! I do write a lot, so you've been warned. I am working on that, plus I'll probably be pressed for time along the way! Regardless, I hope y'all enjoy following my journey and seeing all the fun I can find in AUS!
Still trying to figure out pictures..
So as I continued packing my stuff together, I may have started doubting that all of my stuff for the month would actually fit. To stay a compact as possible, I figured I should roll my clothes (also a tip from Aunt Lila). As I did that, I started to whip out ziplocs to keep things together as I also tried to fool myself into thinking I was extremely organized! This has worked so far..
It seemed to all be working, and I was getting more and more excited as it was truly all coming together. Yes, I fit FOUR pairs of pants into one ziploc! everything piled on my bed and batteries charging in my room might drive some of you crazy, but alas this is how I roll. I may be up way late, but I will get it done!
The motivator (aka Mama) came in my room because she wanted to witness the packing of my bag, not to mention speed up the process. As I packed my carry-on, you could tell we start felt as if plan B might have to happen. We looked at each other wearily, I took a deep breath, and grabbed a ziploc full of clothes. One after the other, I placed in somewhat strategically.
My packing list consisted of:
4shirts;2ss tshirts; 2ls tshirts; 3pfgs; 1fleece; 1sweatshirt
1jeans; 2workout pants; 1zipoff pants;1adidas pants
3patagagonia baggies (my personal fav); 1jean shorts; 1norts
3dresses; 1skirt; 3 bathing suits; underwear; sports bras; socks
sunscreen; hat; flashlight; camera; iPhone; iPad; adapter/converter; all chargers
sleeping bag; travel linen; compass; laundry detergent; meds; toiletries
tennis shoes; chacos; shower shoes; rainbows and
BAM!!
It all fit!

Feel free to commnet on my posts and I'll try to keep updating often!
