Well, they’re more like padded envelopes and cardboard boxes delivered by FedEx, but you know what I mean. Bottom line, I’m starting to get all sorts of fun packages in the mail, which makes me that much more excited for my trip!
A few days ago, my beautiful Deuter Quantum pack came. I did a ton of research and spent lots of time in Sports Chalet trying out packs, and finally settled on this baby, and I think she’s perfect. I have also figured out the perfect name for her: Dora. (Short for Dora the Explorer, clearly.) Fitting, no?
Still to come is my new (green!) iPod nano, which I got for free with my credit card points — woohoo Capital One!
I’ve done several CVS runs, and slowly but surely whittled down my packing list and raided my Mom’s closet — re-claiming an old sarong of mine to use as a blanket/skirt/beach towel, finding the perfect sized bags to fit all my cosmetics and electronics, and borrowing some t-shirts that will match everything I’m bringing. I can’t believe the countdown is 10 days!o
My last goal is to find a fun object to take on my travels and take pictures of/with at fun spots. My mom has a fun collection of rubber ducks, so I was thinking about those, but I’m open to suggestions — comment and help me brainstorm!
You should bring different t-shirts to take pictures with in fun places– perhaps an NU shirt or a Husky ambassadors shirt?
Also for object a small stuffed animal might be fun– my uncle has a banana he brings everywhere, and I’ve seen people use ugly dolls as well!
I’m definitely packing my NU shirt 🙂 I wish I had a cute stuffed animal to bring with me (like one of those adorable baby huskies we had!) maybe I’ll bring a rubber duck… I’m brainstorming!
