Getting it together

I'll be packing up some of my winter / fall clothes this week in preparation for leaving for Dublin. I am struggling with the idea of condensing my life into 2 suitcases as I left with 3 the last time I made this trip and still found I needed more. How does one pack their entire life into suitcases anyways? How do you decide what's important enough to bring versus what you can confidently leave behind? It's quite the struggle to be honest. Can't I just take everything without paying astronomical fees at the airport? :'(

With the exception of packing, I haven't really attempted to prepare any further for my trip. I'll be reconnecting with a recruitment agency again next month in hopes of finding a hospitality job in advance of arriving in Dublin. Having a job or at least a lead on a job prior to leaving would really put me at ease as far as knowing I'll be relatively secure. I'm hoping I can find a job that will be ok with my desire to travel at least once every other month (if not more!) . I would assume they would expect a working holiday participant to be doing a little travelling anyways.

Aside from that, I'm just counting down the days. I'm so ready to get on with this experience and make it exactly what the last one wasn't, fun. I'm determined to get everything right this time around and who knows, maybe I'll get that dream career or dream husband and I'll never have to come back to Windsor!! Now that would be a dream come true <3

HAPPY VEG
