New Beginnings

So its one day till i leave and i did a test run of packing...the good news is that i got everything to fit into my one suitcase ( a miracle I know) the bad news is that it weighs way more than 50lbs, which happens to be the airports limit on luggage. I have the option of checking two bags but i really really don't want to have to lug both around! anyways tomorrow im going to sort through it all again and take the stuff that is completely not necessary ( which i think it all is...) and see if i can lower the weight. if worst comes to worst i think i will just pay the excess weight fee...assuming that it isn't too much.
so its off on a new adventure down under and all loose ends are tied up and bundled together and left in the USA especially since im trying to travel with a minimalist approach....not working out so well but im still trying! I've already had contact with several people that iwill be meeting up with in LA who are all on the group flight so that gives me confidence and makes me really excited to see some "familiar" faces from facebook..haha thats kinda ironic!
I'm only looking forward and can't wait to experience what lies before me!
