Preliminary packing

It's 12:24 and I am dead tired from all the stress in packing my stuff for Europe. A week  The physical part of packing was no problem at all, but the mental part was draining. It's hard to fit it all into one small suitcase. Like any vacation, it's hard to decide on what to bring because if you don't bring it, you miss out on wearing something nice or needed for example. That one luggage you bring will be your life for a whole month and I am a very high maintinence human!

Our tour is very silly because they have a 20kg limit on luggage without consideration for their passengers who are braving harsh winter conditions. They know we're coming in winter! What do they expect us to bring with 20kg? It's bloody winter I repeat! 

There's a little over a week to go and I am beyond stoked! But this packing business has definitely been weighing me down. I'm so stupid to stress over it, but I want this holiday to be easy and breezy! 

This is our packing room! It's completely dedicated to our trip so we've stored all our luggage and everything we will need to bring. 

This is a first for me... Packing a week before the trip... not a few hours before our flight. I'm hoping I don't have to pull an all nighter like I always do. I'm also hoping to be completely organised so I can go on the trip feeling relaxed, well-rested and positive-minded.
