Hello Europe...Here I come ! ! !


Leaving for Europe TOMORROW! (May 25th)...So....

I decided it would probably be a good idea to start packing. I began packing my backpack and suit case at 11:00 a.m. . After packing/unpacking/repacking 4 times, 20 shirts, 8 pairs of pants, many many more things(that I will probably never need), and 8 hours later I am officialy finished packing. - Whew!
Oh and by the way...this picture to the right is all I will have for two weeks...no biggie right?...WRONG. I will definitly be taking a trip back in history to the ancient times of handwashing. But, on a more positive note I am hoping that carrying this 24 pound pack around will make me buff. - Ha, wishful thinking! And this pack is supposed to fit into an overhead compartment...I will let you know how that goes :)


My two friends and I have 12 days to backpack around before our classes start in London. First stop - Switzerland. After a layover in Dublin and droping our suitcases off at a storage area in the London aiport we will arrive in Zurich, switzerland May 26th at about 10:00 pm (6 p.m in the states). All and all over 24 hours of traveling!

Wish me luck ~

Lauren- xoxo

    I love it! The picture is so cute, and I am so proud you only had to pack and repack 4 times, you are blowing my packing skills right out of the water. And I can't believe you managed to cram everything in that pack. So impressive! Can't wait to follow along on your travels, please keep us updated on everything!!!!
