Packing..Why I am silently crying on the inside.

      I am not going to lie. This is the biggest dilemma I have faced in a while.
How..HOW do I pack four months of clothes and supplies into two suitcases? I have only packed half of my clothes into one large suitcase and I still have another half to get into it! Then I have shoes, supplies, toiletries, and the rest of my life to pack into another. This appears to be seemingly impossible.
I don't consider myself an overly fashionable person nor do I consider myself an over-packer, but the fact that many people seem to be taking one suitcase with a carry-on is the equivalent of telling me they are also building a rocket ship. I am in sheer awe of them. They deserve an award.
     I have 3 days to go till I board my Scandinavian Airlines flight from Washington to Copenhagen and I still haven't packed everything yet. I am getting heart palpitations just thinking about this task ahead of me.
     I will say I have tried the "space bag,"  but now it just appears that I have over-sized ziploc bags in my suitcase.


Half of my clothes in 'space bags'


The rest of the clothes that I have to fit into the other suitcase.
Eh.
     You know what, it will be okay. Somehow, someway everything will make it over there and if not, then my parents can ship it to DIS for me. No problemo. I have gotten everything else covered! I have my passport, visa, kroner (Danish currency), and everything else checked off the list. Now all I have to do is pack (ugh) and get on a plane!
     It's funny. It hasn't really dawned on me yet that I am going to go LIVE in another country. I have only moved once in my life and that was to somewhere that was 5 minutes away. This is going to be such a life experience and I cannot wait! Danish life here I come (just have to pack first.)
