All packed!! Today is the big day, and I'll be leaving for the airport in about 6 hours! My room at home has been in shambles for 2 days as I've been tearing apart my closet looking for things to throw (and eventually shove) into my luggage. My checked baggage ended up being 43 pounds, so I hope the scale isn't wrong! I can't believe my European journeys begin today! I'm SO excited to be able to explore Barcelona and eventually travel to other countries with friends from Marist. I'll miss everyone from home so much, but I'll be having the time of my life over there. I'll be home for Christmas, but until then, I'll be writing about and posting pictures of all the places I visit and all the things I'm doing!
