It was crazy! I hate traveling with more than a backpack as a carry on, so I was bound and determined to make it all fit in my one huge suitcase since you can only check one bag. It seemed like an impossible feat once I got it all gathered!
But somehow I managed to fit EVERYTHING in there. I was quite proud of myself . . . and then I weighed it . . . and it was 15 pounds overweight. So even though I could make everything fit in my huge suitcase, it turned out I needed to take a small suitcase as a carry on as well. And I needed to make it fairly heavy. Ug! So here is what I am taking now:
It is going to be a long, long day!
To answer some questions about my trip: I am going to Guatemala for 6-8 weeks to teach English and travel around Central America. Basically, I am going so that I have something to do during the summer! I will be living in a small town two hours west of Guatemala City. No, I don't speak Spanish. But I do speak Portuguese and have heard that I will do well. Yes, I am quite terrified (though VERY excited!) Yes, I will be blogging as long as it is a possibility (which I think it is!) so stay tuned for more on my Guatemalan Adventure!
