On March first Al and Noel helped me move everything out of my apartment. I took one last look at my empty room and shut the door. I think that it would have been a lot more sad if I wasn't so exhausted from carrying everything down 4 flights of stairs. Al then drove the truck to my parents house in Maryland with me and helped to unload everything.
I've spent the last week with my parents and finishing up all the last minute details. I've booked hostels, researched destinations and bought the last few things on my packing list. I'm so happy that I've been able to spend so much time with my parents. I'm going to miss them.
I think that I might be about ready to go. I think I have everything on my list, its just a matter of making it all fit in my pack. It's just so hard to believe that this time tomorrow I will be in JFK waiting for my flight to London. Holy crap, I'm going backpacking around the world, who would have ever thought that I would be able to get my act together enough to do a trip like this? I'm just as shocked as everyone else! I guess all that is left is Bon voyage I'll update you in a day or two!

P.S. - I've got that same Eagle Creek bag in the same color. The longest I've used it for is 9wks, but I love it. ;)
