Shannon is waaaay ahead of me. I am having serious issues with packing. These are the bags that I am still vetting to see which I should take on the trip . . . and I still have another one coming from REI. I am on a first name basis with some of the workers there. Also, you may notice the hair products on the suitcase. Shannon and I both are blessed (CURSED?) with curly hair and finding the right product is essential. I am not able to bring my flat iron so I am going to have to embrace that which I have been given.
