I've just googled "creative ways to pack a suitcase"

I don't know how I'm going to make everything fit. I had everything pack at least 3 times the past few days but keep taking it all out and starting over. I feel like I'm taking way to much stuff. I know every au pair site stresses packing just the essentials... but... how?! haha. When I went to Italy, that's what I did. I took JUST the essentials. I feel like this time I don't want to. I want more options. Which is leading me to my current problem. I just weighed the suitcase and it is 37LBS. The weight limit is 50. So I'm good in the aspect, but the problem is making it all fit. I'm using plastic bags, rolling things, stuffing things inside other things. Good things I've still got a week to figure it out ;)

(7 days though! 7 days and I'm going to be in a different country...starting another adventure.... kgjhskjhdskhfkdsa)

Countdown: 10 days!

10 days, I can't believe it. I'm starting to get a little nervous. It's outweighed by my excitement, but it's still there. My suitcases are half packed. Hopefully by the end of the weekend they will be all ready to go.
The family is on vacation with no internet until the day before I arrive, so we haven't had our weekly skype calls in a few weeks, but they've managed to send me a few pics from Menorca and gah. I just can't wait to be there.


Hopefully the rain holds off today so we can get one last trip to the zoo before I leave.


ps - apologies for the excessive use of gifs in my posts, haha. I can't help it! I love them.

Countdown: 15 days!

I think I'm entering the panic and freak out stage right about now =S

Countdown: 20 days!

I'm starting to get a little nervous... I hope the next 20 days go by rather quickly.

Countdown: 25 days!

:D

Countdown: 40 days

THIS IS SO EXCITING.
haha, it's getting close! I can't wait. I've been messaging on facebook the past few days with some girls who will be in my area, I really think we will all end up being pretty good friends. They're all from Germany. According to one of them there are a lot of German's in Valencia. Who knew, haha.
