Day Thirty-Nine

Its still 12 days before we leave for Europe, but I am already packed. This is mainly because my parents leave for their trip in two days, and my mom insisted I be packed before they go. I think she is convinced I will forget everything if I don't get it done now. Ah well, it was good to get it out f the way. Made me realize what I still have to pick up before I leave.

Things I am bringing with me:

-3 Short-sleeve t-shirts
-2 Long-sleeve t-shirts
-1 Button-up shirt
-1 Cardigan
-1 Hoody
-1 Belt
-1 Rainjacketinabag
-2 Pairs of jeans
-2 Pairs of shorts
-4 Pairs of boxers
-5 Pairs of Socks
-1 Light sleeping bag
-1 Laura's travel guide
-1 Eurorail pass, plus the attached map/guides
-1 iPod
-1 Nikon d80, with 50mm+shitty17-55mm+charger+ remote shutter release
-3 Juggling balls
-1 Journal, with pencil, pen, and notepad
-1 Deck of cards
-1 Mini checkerboard
-1 Mini Connect-4
-1 First-aid kit
-1 Bottle of sunscreen
-1 Stick of Oldspice
-1 Money belt
-1 Passport
-1 Debit card
-1 Credit card
-60 Euro
-50 British Pounds
-1 Combination lock
-2 Luggage locks
-1 Bunch of elastic bands
-1 Roll of duct-tape
-1 Roll of electical tape
-10 AA batteries (don't think I will need these)
-1 Can of nice smelling stuff
-1 Toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, roll of dental floss.
-3 Tins of vitamins/Tylonal
-1 Electric razor (although I doubt I will end up shaving)
-1 Ridiculous comb from 1992 McDonald's happy meal.

I was amazed that this all fit into my backpack; I was also surprised how small you can compact a pair of jeans.

I now have a week and a half to get my life in order before I go. Yikes.

Cheers,

Patrick
