Preparations for Australia

So I am just a few days away from jumping on a plane and traveling to Melbourne, Australia. I am so excited and cannot wait to move in and meet my roommates. However, I am not ready for the 27 hour flight to get there.

 

 

 

Countdown until I get to Australia!

 

 

 

 

I have spent all day today "practice" packing all of my stuff to make sure everythng fits and doesn't weigh over the airlines weight limits. I am not packing, but instead buying, items like my bed linens, towels, hair products, etc. (my apartment supplies everything i could ever need in my kitchen!). Despite  all of the things I am not packing, I still have a lot more stuff than I thought I would. Here is all of my stuff:

 

  

​

 

Clothes (all of this fits into one bag!):

  • 5 dresses

  • 3 skirts

  • 8 workout shorts and 3 sweatpants

  • 13 pairs of shorts/pants

  • 30 different shirts from tank tops to t-shirts to blouses

  • undergarments

  • 4 bathing suits

  • 6 pairs of shoes

 

I am also packing:

  • Scuba gear (ADVENTURE TIME!)

  • my little sisters nook

  • my computer

  • a small scrapbook of pictures of friends and family :)

  • my hair dryer, hair brush, and a little bag with my perfume and makeup.

  • a beach bag, a purse, and a clutch

 

After packing all of that 3 different times and into 2 different sized bags to get it to all fit, then realizing I had forgotten some things and repacked two more times to make it all fit....I got all of my clothes to fit into one bag, my scuba gear into another, and everything else in my backpack and purse. :) I am feeling pretty accomplished!

 

I will post again by the end of the week letting yall know how my flight went and showing some pictures of my first looks at the city of business that is Melbourne. :)
