It’s the day before I leave and up to this point, I’ve only made lists and thought about packing. I’ve been on lots of trips before and I never seem to break the habit of doing things last minute.
I bought a new backpacking backpack that’s 75 liters in size and so far I was able to pack the essential stuff for myself.
I’m only bringing enough clothes for about 5 days and will find a place to do laundry halfway.
Unfortunately, since it hasn’t been lower than 70f in Hong Kong, my sister, Kimberly, has had no reason to bring her winter gear. Which means that I have to figure a way to pack two pairs of boots, winter jackets, etc. because Beijing and Seoul have the same winter weather as Minnesota.
Everyone at work was really nice and wished me well on my trip yesterday. I drew an out of office message on my whiteboard on my desk that I’m pretty proud of.
