Well tonight's my last night in America until June 14th. It's actually starting to become a little nerve wracking. Going to a whole new country by myself. So weird.
However I'm also getting even more excited. I spent most of today packing. I already had everything kinda pulled together but it needed to start getting organized and put in my backpack. The trickiest part was figuring out what to do with a lot of the random stuff like the travel laundry soap and lock for my backpack. Luckily I bought a 3 piece packing cube set from E - bags. The largest and smallest fit all my clothes and then I just put all those random things in the middle cube. it worked pretty well. The scary part was when I started actually fitting stuff into the backpack.

At first I didn't think I was going to have enough room. And I'm not an over packer. I've been following suggested lists from Rick Steeves for everything. I figured out how to eventually get everything to fit though I don't know what I will do with souvenirs yet. I've just got a few more things to add in the morning and then I'll be heading to Chicago tomorrow afternoon!
