travel over!

i am finally done with the travel! visiting new york was a blast, of course it was a lot of packing and saying goodbye which was sad, but the beach was still beautiful. there were crazy huge waves from hurricane igor while i was there and they really surprised me. instead of taking two days to drive down we did it all in one, it wasn't too awful of a drive but that's because i didn't do any of the driving! we got into south carolina super early in the morning and when poor jon woke up the next morning he started getting an awful cold!

my aunt and uncle came in to spend the day from atlanta, which was very fun, we went to
 dinner i have seriously never seen so much sushi in my life!! and i have seen me some sushi! jon and i went home early to try to find him some meds but the adults apparently were out too late and came in ten minutes later. i'm glad i got to see them before i left for switzerland.

switzy

today is my last day to pack for switzerland and new york. i leave for the city on sunday and then after hanging around long island for a few days we are driving down to ,y house so i can get my stuff and say goodbye and then it's off to the swiss alps for a solid three months! i am so excited. getting everything together is much more confusing than i would have thought it to be. i have way too many things and i am finding it difficult to decide what i might need in the next three months! one of the things i know i'll be in need of is a journal. the one from my summer trip around europe (that i got in innsbruck) is full and although i got a new one, i just cannot get paperblanks off my mind! i didn't even realize how many different options and designs there were until i just looked up the site! now i can't wait to return so i can figure out how to acquire the next one i want. there is a long list of the different collections they have and once i figure out which one i want it may take some time tracking it down, which i guess is half the fun! welp, back to packing.
