there is much to be done

Today is the one and only day of unemployment I've had since my sophomore year of college. I'm not one of those people that likes to sit around doing nothing - I think my free time is better enjoyed if I don't have ample amounts of it. So it's no surprise that today (although I did REALLY sleep in) I'm spending my day preparing to leave the country for a few weeks. Between doing laundry so I can pack, making sure every bill gets paid on time, and taking a ton of clothes to the goodwill - I'm sort of an anti-hoarder - I managed to fill up my "day off." Still, I think I'll be finished with all of my jobs just in time for happy hour!

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

So tomorrow morning at 3:30 am I'm heading off to the airport for a LONG flight to Shanghai. From there - Yiwu, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and back again, and to say that I had a hard time packing into a carry-on sized bag would be an understatement. My dad thought lugging my giant suitcase from trains to airports to cabs would be a pain (and he was probably right). Even with my lack of clothes, I'm so excited, China was the most amazing place to visit the first time around, and I get to go even more places with more of my family (and my boyfriend) this time around. Sadly, I had to leave my new coat behind - too much tropical weather and not enough suitcase space. But when I get back to the November cold I doubt you'll even see many of my actual clothes through the fuzzy, leather exterior.
