Even though I'm still a few months out from the beginning of my journey, I'm already panicking. So I can just imagine what it must be like. I'm adding this blog to my blog roll so I can keep checking in on your story! Great blog Theresa! Even though I’m still a few months out from the beginning of my journey, I’m already panicking.

My last few weeks were mostly waiting... I had empty out my apartment the month before, and seemingly gotten everything done. It wasn't until the last 2 days that all those tiny little things I needed to do (make copies of our passports, print out our itinerary, notify the bank of our travels etc) that had me running around. I'm so excited for you guys! Wow, you’re almost there. My last few weeks were mostly waiting… I had empty out my apartment the month before, and seemingly gotten everything done.

As for packing, pack everything then get rid of half...you never use all you take... we'll miss each other in stockholm but i'll see you next year in Asia!

I was stuffing bags with gear at midnight before we left... and am now planning to ship half of it back! Best of luck with your final countdown.
