eighteen

y'all.

18 days til the trip.

i'm not prepared but i'm ready, if that makes sense.

slightly freaking out.  no, scratch that, i'm definitely about to start running around like a chicken with its head cut off because of how little i've done to prep.  and i don't have weekends between now and then to pack/plan either.   aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

new pack!

pretty self explanatory, i got a new backpack for the upcoming trip!  while i love my eagle creek truist pack  i took to europe, it was way too big for this trip.  i'm also not checking my bag this time so i needed to downsize to one i could fit in as a carry-on.  now i have a gregory sage 45 (it's a women's pack, the men's is another name, same features, different fit) in maroon (yep, gig'em aggies!!) and i love it.  it has everything i like in a pack and the top is even a dry bag in itself.  super excited about my new pack!!!!

on that note, i'm freaking out about how little time i have left.  while i'm starting to walk a little better, i still have a ways to go.  i also have quite a few things to plan for.  better get myself organized!

35 days til the trip!
