Day Zero

Self Portrait

Let me see... it is 1:18 AM and I still have not put anything in my backpack. My flight leaves tomorrow at 2:55 PM. I arrive in Zurich at 7:30 AM. Then fly to Budapest at 12:30 PM. I really can’t wrap my mind around the thought that I’ll be across the globe in 24 hours.

Gear
This (I believe) is everything I’m taking with me. I can’t believe I’m going to be carrying all that around on my back.

I’ve had to simultaneously move everything out of my apartment into a storage unit. I guess that makes me homeless.

Packs
Here are my two packs. The big one, my mom found at a garage sale for $5. He went with me on my last backpacking venture. Two years ago with the ole gang. Good ole tripack. The small one I just acquired on ebay for this trip. It looks promising.

It is now 1:52 AM and I still have not put anything in my pack. I better get started...

Yo, Nathan what happened to breakfast this morning, Amanda was MIA when i called her. I hope you eventually got packed though, cause it could be important.
