One Week!

I will be leaving for Mexico in 1 week.  Currently I'm working on getting all of my ducks in a row with giant lists of things I need to do.

I haven't started packing yet, but that is because I am writing my packing list first, then I can decide from there what is a necessity and what isn't.  Some advice given to me that I will be using while packing: 
  1. Pack half what I think I need for clothes
  2. Bringing a second bag for the return home for souvenirs/extra stuff
  3. Rolling clothes makes more room than folded. 
  4. OR using plastic zip-lock bags and pushing out the excess air.  

Other stuff: Luckily my prescriptions were pretty easy to get, just expensive for a lump-sum.  I'm trying to find a site that has them translated into Spanish in hopes that would make the customs process easier.  

I'm still having a lot of anxiety about leaving for so long, but I know once I get settled I'll be ok.  However I can't wait to get out of this snowy, cold mess.  Granted Queretaro won't be hot, but it will be warmer.  (I'm just complaining because it was 10 degrees out today and only going to get colder lol)
