ready to go!

Well I successfully packed my two suitcases a whole 4 days before I leave! I was expecting it to be a lot harder but I guess when you take everything it's not as difficult to forget things :) I'm also planning on getting the hair products that are heavy over there like a curling iron and hair dryer. Those take up lots of space too. Now I'm just trying to figure out how I'll be able to drag 2 huge suitcases and a gigantic backpack through the airport by myself without dying..

The last minute things don't seem to be too bad-I did the Target run for a bunch of toiletries and probably stocked up on a few things I'm not going to run out of. I just don't trust Spanish toothpaste or deodorent for some reason.. Looking at the weather I will definitely be needing the sunscreen. My current albino skin will be fried in the all-day sun and 70 degree weather right now :) I wonder if they have spray tans there.. I could use one before I hit the beach in a few weeks for sure.

Looking forward to a fun weekend in Chicago with cousins before a family dinner with the Aunt Eda and Papa! It's going to be weird leaving but I'm starting to think of it more like I'm just going to school and not coming home for a semester. That's not so bad. I'll probably not want to come home ever after living on a sunny, college beach town for four months. Time for a relaxing pedicure and a last lunch at Cafe Fresh! We'll see how much more I can cram in the suitcases in the next 2 days :)
