Starting to pack some stuff.

As you already know my mom is coming this Monday and we are going to Seattle for a couple days. So, because I'm kind of fussy  I'm gonna start  packing today. Maybe you think is so early but it takes really long to me to make sure that I have everything that I need. I like to follow some steps:

  1. Make a list of the outfits that I'll wear. (Just if it is for a short trip)
  2. Make a list of every garment that goes is the suitcase organized in groups ( T-shirts, jeans...) 
  3. Make a list of the things that I'll carry in my toilet bag
  4. Make a list of the most important things; the ones that go in my bag/ backpack (passport, cell phone, i-pod, some candies...)
  5. Roll the clothes ( this way they take less place) and put them in the suitcase as I cross them out of my list.
  6. Put the underwear, socks and all the little things in the small spaces between the clothes.
  7. Fit wherever I can my shoes and my toilet bag.
  8. Fill my bag/ backpack with all the important things
  9. Review all my lists a couple times and make sure I have everything
  10. Ready to go!!
You can see they are so many steps so it use to take me three or four days. Sometimes even more! 

This year I have the honor to be the bearer of  The Bag from Nepal. This is a big bag that my parents bought so many years ago in Nepal. We use to carry it in the suitcase and if we don't have enough place for everything when we are gonna come back we use put some stuff in there.

Only one day left for the Spring Break and three to see my mom! Oh my Gosh I'm so excited!







1. Man for the name address etc.
2. "My little jewel case"  Salvador Bachiller.
3, "My little toilet bag" Salvador Bachiller.
4. The Bag from Nepal 



 So, are you like me? Or you just put in the suitcase the first thing you see?
