My Life In 68lbs Or Less

After literally months of list making and reminder post-its I finally began the process of packing up my life for the next three months. Ever since I was 8 years old I spent a week of my summer at various summer camps. The registration packets would come in during late February and as soon as it was mailed off it took everything I had not to start packing immediately. This was the same situation. The Monday after I was offered the job I spent my whole day in class and at work writing down all the things I thought I was going to need. Then weeks later when I was able to sit down and pick the brain of a current TLC even more was added to the list. I refrained from actually touching and sorting any of my clothes until late May when I was moving into my parents' house. Since my wardrobe didn't fit all in one closet I went ahead and separated clothes I considered appropriate and easy to pack from the rest of everything else. So my "TLC" clothes and other items have been in my family's guest room for the past couple of months piling up.

Over the past weekend my parents were away on vacation and I was left to keep an eye on my brother and tend to the puppies. This left open the perfect opportunity to begin the process of packing.

In the past three days I have plucked "unnecessary" items from the pile, till finally it looked like a manageable/packable amount of clothing. And sure enough by 11pm last night the next three months of my life was packed up in two pieces of luggage. The grand total of which comes to... 67.7lbs. 41.0 for my checked bag and 26.7 for my carry on.

Now the following list is more for me to keep inventory of the things I am beginning my travels with incase my luggage gets lost or I misplace something. I know I have over looked something (TLCs reading this, help me out if you catch something). And I am sure that this list will give me a laugh come December when I have this whole traveling thing down, but for now HERE IT IS.
