Packing

Oh, gosh.

It's time!

I'm working today and leaving for Charlotte way earlier than I want to think about in the morning. A short flight to Miami and then a slightly longer one to Quito. Never experienced customs, so I hope the layover (2 hours) is long enough.

I am excited and ready for my new adventure and my first trip out of the country.

Packing, however, sucks. Seriously. I've never been the most organized of people, and packing does not bring out the best in me. I WILL forget SOMETHING important, I feel sure.

I am really, really bad to over pack. Unfortunately, when traveling by plane, this is not a good trait. For the car trip that Abi and I took, it wasn't a big deal - two of us in a Kia Sorrento. Big deal if we took too much. We had room. Planes are not so accommodating, plus I'd have to lug everything around, so I have to go home tonight and pack carefully while still remembering everything I might need.

I can do this. Really, I will remember everything that's necessary.

I hope.
