Leaving Gringolandia

We're nearing the end of our last day in the United States...WHAT!?! We've really accomplished a lot since that day in January when we planted the tiny seed of travel. Lindsay got into grad school (University of Denver which she promptly visited and deferred for a year) and Sara...well, Sara came a looooong way in terms of packing.
Sara's Before and After Packing Lists

Before:
Large Roll-y bag (because traveling in South America is the same as traveling in Europe)
1 Pair Frye boots
1 Wool pea coat
1 Trench coat
Trail running shoes instead of hiking shoes
Hair dryer
Hair product
1 Sweater
At least 3 pairs of pants
At least 3 other pairs of shoes
Many other items of clothing too numerous to mention

After:
75 L Traveling back pack
4 T-shirts
4 Tank tops
3 Pairs of jeans
2 Dresses
2 Button up shirts
1 Skirt
2 Pairs spandex
Hiking shoes
3 other pairs of shoes
Socks and underwear
A much humbled sense of traveler chic


Other than the trials of packing and re-packing, our preparations are finally coming to an end. Today has been busy running last minute errands and hanging out with Lindsay's family. We have a grueling day of travel ahead of us so stay tuned for that exciting story!


See you in Miami! xoxo
