Four days to go!

Only 4 days to go till I leave for Portugal! I feel like these past few months have moved so slowly, but this past week has gone so fast. Up until last week, I figured that I had so much time to get all the little things done until now. And then my week just started to fill up and the business days left were dwindling. Now I only have the weekend and then I leave Monday morning to drive from Portland to Seattle. Thankfully, my wonderful friend offered a place to stay and drive me to the airport for my 6 am flight.

It has amazed me how many little things I've needed to get for my trip: camera SD and MicroSD cards, travel bottles and travel-size toiletries, portable battery sticks (for my phone) and arch support for my new shoes. Now I need to make sure everything is charged up and ready to go for the trip. And then pack.

Oh packing, how I depise you. Since I am on a mission to pack light this trip, these next 2 days will be very interesting. I envision laying all my clothes out on my bed to mix and match, deciding there are more items I just must have because "you never know" and then end up packing way to much and having to start over. Knowing myself, I also see a clothes shopping trip in my future - current clothes are just never good enough are they?

Whatever happenes, I am so ready for these next 2 days to be over so I can drive to Seattle and get this show on the road!
