Packing and Pondering

Drinking a hot cup of green tea in front of the fireplace on a Saturday night would usually be a relaxing evening. Instead, I sit here drinking tea while a worry, "Do I have everything I need? Is $300 enough for ten days in Europe? How many pairs of socks should I bring? Will I really need Nyquil? Should I have learned more German phrases?"

If you were leaving at 3PM this Tuesday for Frankfurt, wouldn't you be a little anxious too??

As of this minute, I have only Ritz cheese and crackers and Cereal bars in my suitcase. I will add the all important socks and thermals before I go to bed (soon) but the rest will have to wait. I have to do laundry first!

Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned for more updates...hopefully with more exciting topics than socks and laundry!

  1. camera, book for the plane, ipod. check with verizon about roaming charges. you may need to shut off your phone. maps, maybe a compass. a watch. $300 might be enough, but I doubt it. have you checked on the exchange rate? learn how to say "coffee". print out anything you may need from the internet, like an itinerary or contact numbers. A MAP.

  2. $300 is all I have, I have two copies of my itinerary, not taking my phone, and I'm going to buy a map when I get there. I have my camera, a new book, and my ipod ready to go. I get my disbursement on Friday (direct deposit) so I'll have some more cash for next week if I need it. :) thanks for reading my blog!
