Packing…it never ends!
I legitimately started packing today. I had started last week, thinking hey I can fit all my clothes and necessities for a month in a little rolling bag. I forgot I was a girl and needed a ton of things, and still do. I was able to fit in all my clothes and knickknacks. Now I just gotta figure out how to squish in my unmentionables and first aid kit….
What’s pretty funny is how I ran out of certain things, such as shampoo and conditioner in the house. We were about to make a run to the drug store, but realized- its Christmas Eve, its cold, we just came in, and the stores will either be closed or crazy. I’ll just wait till the 26th to do last minute shopping.
While packing, I started to freak out about the converter situation. I looked it up online and saw that Argentina runs on 220/240 watts power, but I was confused as to what converter I could use for my macbook pro. I think I saw somewhere that a mac uses up to about 65 watts when its on, so I’m not entirely sure if a 85 watt step down converter from 220 to 120 is good enough for charging my mac. I heard from a few people it should be a-ok, but any ideas, feel free to comment below! 🙂
The excitement for the trip has always been there, as well as the nervousness and fear of traveling to a new place without parents. I mean, I’ve traveled to Canada myself, butttt I don’t count that haha because its just a nicer and cleaner America (don’t think so? Comment below!) Looking at my ticket, the fear slowly but surely crept in even more, because all these paranoid thoughts kept on popping up in my head ( Oh My God, do I really need to know enough spanish to get through customs? What happens if I end up saying the wrong thing, and can’t come in??)
Anyways, its Christmas Eve- the most quiet one I’ve had in years. Just me and the fam. Can’t wait to cuddle on the couch and watch some t.v with them later on.
To all, a safe and Merry Christmas! God Bless!
