T minus 1 day...

So much to do--so little time. The trip we have been planning for four months launches tomorrow, and after speaking with Silvana on the phone, I can speak for both of us when I say, "Crap, I haven't even started packing!" 

No worries though--this procrastination is "classic us," and we both work better on a deadline. We will spend today lying around not doing anything productive and using any excuse(ex: writing this blog) to keep us away from trying to figure out how to fit all of our clothes into an oversized-shoe box of a backpack. 

In the end though, we will get it done, because, well, we have to. And, with the help of some vacuum seal plastic bags, which I recommend to anyone packing for anything, we might even get to pack an extra pair of jeans to mix and match with the five shirts my backpack allots space for. 

Oh yes, we will be looking quite glamorous in our jaunt across Europe (note the sarcasm), especially after the third or fourth day of wearing the same outfit to German beer gardens.

However, we have come up with the solution that will dress up any outfit: scarves. All the Europeans wear them, so they just might help us blend in to the stylish European culture a little bit, even though they will be covering up beer stains on a four-day dirtied Old Navy T-shirt.

Well, here's hoping.
