Last day in the good ol' USA, furiously packing my bags and wrapping up loose ends. It's difficult, to say the least, packing for not coming back. How do you know what you will need if you have no idea where you are going? To further complicate matters, it all needs to fit in a small suitcase, backpack and/or laptop bag.
After much tears and debate, I've traded my beautiful red patent leather pumps for a pair of hiking boots and said goodbye to my KS bag. Got a week or so of clothes, OTC medss, first aid kit and duct tape (thanks to M&B), a handy dandy multitool thingy, and various other can't live without knick knacks. I think I'm good, albeit still very sad that beautiful clothes and shoes need to be left behind! Sigh...
