El Camino de Santiago

1 month, 1 week.

We had our first meeting for our Spain trip which is soon incredibly soon! I can’t believe it. I AM SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED. I literally spent like 40 minutes tonight pretend packing. I went and bought a couple things for the trip (socks and undies woo!) and spent way too much money but I hope I like backpacking so much that I’ll do it more in the future. I still need a backpack, some rain pants (cool, I know), more socks and undies and I think I’ll have it all! Unfortuately it’s getting rather spendy. At least I have a job this year. I know this is a super boring post but I’m so so so excited. I wish I had all my homework done for tomorrow so I could start my research, reading and journaling for our class (we’re doing all the work before we leave so we don’t have to carry more than necessary). Oh get this. We’re supposed to carry 10% of our weight. :| Why can’t I weight 200 lbs? EEK. I’m sure I’ll be updating you guys more soon!

A victim of overpacking you seem to be.

What you need is three of everything maximum. Three pairs of underwear, three t-shirts and socks. And what you really need is a plastic or nylon poncho against the rain, forget the rain trousers - what on earth is that.

Do not overpack. Take less than you need.
