All My Bags Are Packed... Ready to go?

My luggage is about 4 lbs over and 7 sq. inches too large.  Shh!  Don't alert airport officials.  

It's quite a desperate effort packing for two years.  It's like every last argyle sock is a must-have luxury.  I've hoarded as many first world items as could fit including everything from Ziploc containers to a kitchen knife and even rat traps.  After living in and traveling Africa last year, I'm convinced rules are made to be ignored or bent for a cash incentive.  Let's just see how this philosophy bites me in the ass over the next 3 days.

Guess what I had for dinner tonight?  A hamburger and french fries!  And naturally, I wore heels.  What can I say?  I'm just a hamburger loving, high heel wearing kinda girl!  It was a very fitting last meal.  Where else but America can you eat a $13 hamburger?  I think I'll be able to buy the whole cow for that price in Tanzania.   

Alright, we both know I'm stringing you along with useless information.  I promise not to write again until I have something valuable to contribute.  I don't want to cry wolf with so many blog posts from the 602.  We'll probably meet again in Washington, D.C.  

Until then!

Katie
