Big Trip 2 : T-1

Doing last minute packing, and I am struggling to fit it all into my luggage – the same luggage I used on my last big trip.  You would think that by the 2nd time, I would know better huh?

Met with Aliang a few days ago, and he said that if he was to go on a long trip again, he will carry a smaller bag than what he used the last time.  It might be easier for guys to pack lesser, however as a female, we have a few more requirements to factor in. 

I also packed a few more pieces of clothing than what most people online said they packed – I never know how people can survive with just 4-5 days changes of clothes!  I can’t fathom wearing the same clothes for 2 or more days, or needing to worry about having to find a laundromat every couple of days just to make sure I have enough to wear. 

Had to also squeeze in a down jacket for the trip, just because I will be coming through Europe on the return in the middle of winter and was also told there are a few places in central America which may get quite cold due to altitude. 

And this is what my packing looks like after its mostly done.

In a few more hours, I will be off to the airport and commence on my travels.  Can’t wait!
