Beginning of the Packing Experience

My departure is fast approaching, so that means it is time to pack.  I am not looking forward to trying to pack for two years. I am able to check 2 bags and have one carry-on. I think have all of my bags ready, now I need to fill them. I'm getting down to the wire.

Of my two bags, I can take one with me to my host family and one will go into storage until after swearing-in (3 months).  I have a strategy in mind, separate my things into Now, 3months & 6months.  My family is planning on coming in December, so if I cannot fit it all, they can bring it then.  I just hope I am prepared!

Here is all of the 'stuff'' I would like to take

The shoes I would like to take...I realize I will not be taking all of them, but I will miss them while I'm gone.

My clothes I would like to take, we'll see what makes it to Fiji
