Almost there

Tomorrow is the trip, how exciting! I am making my bags right now. I feel that I won't have enough space when I come back... but I guess I'll have to wait and see. I didn't do much yesterday other than organizing my room. Today was a very exciting day for my country because our football team had its first World Cup match, against Greece. Colombia's football team hasn't been on a world cup since 1998, one year after my birth! I have never seen it play so it was awesome to support them today. All of my close family came to my house to watch the match in a big screen, we were excited and nervous. The results were amazing and made the whole country celebrate. We won!!! :D 3-0!!
I, of course, watched the other World Cup matches of the day. After that I started making my bags(...)

I am taking a big bag, a small bag and an empty duffle bag. The one in the picture is the 'big one'. I just finished filling it up and it cannot fit anything else. I try to save as much space as possible all the time, so I fill my shoes with clothes and then I tie the shoelaces as strong as I can so it occupies the less amount of space possible.

Another thing I do when I pack is organize all my pants, shorts, dresses and skirts as a single layer and then place the shirts on top and make roll it up. I find that it saves a lot of space. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the final result, but I can tell you that all my clothes only took up half of the bag.

I also like to write down on a list everything I am taking so that I don't leave anything behind. 

This is how my list looks at the moment...

Lastly, I printed a 'Travel Checklist' to have an overall idea of what I should take and to make sure that I don't forget anything accidentally.

I just found a Hollister bag on the most recondite place of my bag... the funniest thing is that I've never bought anything at a Hollister store. But who cares, I love the bag and I am going to keep it.

 I mean, who wouldn't keep this hottie? lol

 Now I have to pack the small one but I can't think of what am I missing to pack other than my laptop. Therefore, I'll pack my laptop right now. I apologize for the pathetic entry of today, but I've been quite busy.
