Packing



So I finally packed everything up. I think I did pretty good.

1 medium sized suitcase
1 medium sized duffel bag
1 backpack (carry-on for the plane)
my laptop case

That's really not that much if you think about it. Gone for 5 months, moving from decently warm to full-on winter. And nothing's packed so tight it's about to burst open or anything. I didn't use the optional expandable thingys on either the suitcase or the backpack either, so there's plenty of room to bring back souvenirs... or a nice frenchman if he'll fit. lol :-p

So the weirdest thing about today? I'm leaving in exactly one week. At this time in 7 days I will be driving to Detroit, Michigan with my dad. I can look at a regular forecast and see what the weather will be when I leave or when I arrive in France. It's just really weird. Not sure I'm ready to go, but at the same time I'm so nervous and anxious I really just need to get on the darn plane and be gone. Thanks for all the comments lately guys. :)

If you'd quit hyperventilating and start having a glass or two of wine when you spaz (or a bottle, whatever) you'd start to voir la vie en rose and realize this experience is gonna kick cul and you'll be so glad you went! Then all of us living vicariously through you will start to have some fun! Bonne chance, bon voyage, amuses-toi bien, et dis moi tout les details! N'oublies pas de vivre comme jamais, c'est une experience qui ne passe que une fois dans la vie. Vive sans regrets ma petite!
