Packing

So I left Cragged on the 9th and spent 24 hours at home then was down in CT on the 10th.  Today is my last day with cousins and grandparent on Mom's side before heading to grandparents on dad's side in Florida.  And less than a week til Costa Rica and 25 days til the unknown.

 The big event in CT was my cousin's wedding which was in Fairfield CT at this country club type place.  It was on the ocean and the waiters came around serving apps on a platter.  Crab fritters for days! 

I also went to Madison where I moved to after living in Colorado.  Reminded me of how as a kid I really hated that move because I really loved living in Colorado.  Besides that just alot of planning for CR and hanging with Poppy/ cousins. Oh yeah completely clean shaven for the first time since Oct 2011.  Thinking of making it a habit.


Me and my mom.  Same lady whos coming to Costa Rica for the first week with me!





Saying goodbye to the dogs, which is always the hardest part of leaving home because their species hasn't yet learned how to communicate via telephone nor skype.





Everything thats going into my pack.  6 shirts, 2 drifit shirts, 1 jeans, 1 cargo shorts, 1 gym shorts, lots of socks and boxers, 1 bathing suit, 1 button down, 1 polo, 1 dress pants, 1 pair of deceptively good looking shoes, 1 pair running shoes, 1 pair hiking boots, 1 sleeping bag, 1 fleece, 1 rainpants, toiletries.  looking to eliminate a few items before i head out for realsies.  Even with that I have room for probably about 50 more Clif bars.  Not bringing a phone nor a computer nor a camera nor any electronics.  Only thing worth something is the sleeping bag and pack itself.  If i get robbed I hope they like my old clothes!
