4 days...

I did it. 

I fit everything in my backpack and my carry on. My carry on is filled with the most random things including but not limited to a plate, water filters, a snorkeling tube, and 50 tampons. I have no idea how I did it and I hope no one is expecting a gift from me because unless I can wear it to the airport coming back, I am not going to be able to fit it either of the bags. (jk jk, Mom, if you're reading this I promise I will bring you a small gift) 

I really thought I had packed frugally and laid out the the bare minimum amount of clothes I needed..but I guess not haha 

I went shopping one last time today for some odd t shirts and gifts for my homestay families. I was just going to get everyone tote bags, but I decided to get a variety of things so that I could choose what I wanted to give to each family. They told us we'd have at least four homestays, with a potential fifth during our ISP (Independent Study Project). I got: 

-a tote bag 

-a hammonds bar + colorado blackberry habanero jam (for the first family so the chocolate doesn't melt to much) 

-coasters made from beetle kill wood 

-a magnet and a CO green chili mix 

Tonight I'm going to print my immunization records and my plane ticket but other than those few things, I just need to pack my toiletries bag and my electronic stuff and then I'M PACKED! I'm one step closer to Panama!!!!
