Hi friends! Yesterday was a hectic morning at the nutritionella household. I chose to go out with the girls Monday night and celebrate the finish of our summer semester instead of packing for Spain.
Great decision. We went to Glass Half Full in Carrboro and took advantage of their special…half price bottles of wine!
So that left me with 1 hour to pack and a bit of a post-wine headache yesterday after I got back from a 4 mile run/walk. Fitting in a workout before a long day of travel is essential for me, even after a night of wine-drinking with the ladies! It actually made me feel better and will kept me from getting antsy on the plane!
I began packing by making piles of clothes on my floor. I found that if I just start tossing things into my bag I forget half the stuff I’ve packed by the time it is full.
This way I could see exactly what I had: jeans/shorts/pants, tops, dresses, light sweaters, tees/tanks, pajamas, workout clothes, socks, undies and LOTS of bathing suits!
Oh, and I obviously lined up the essential shoes. Black, nude and brown heels, sandals and running shoes!
I packed the essentials in my carryon bag: Spanish workbooks (para practicar Espanol en el avion), my Kindle, makeup, jewelry, wallet, passport, headphones, sweatpants and sweatshirt (for the long “over night” flight to Madrid), pen, nail file, hairbrush, liquids and sunglasses (for when I feel like a vampire after a short night of sleep on the plane!)
So, 16 hours after I began writing this post (but failed to post due to a lack of internet at JFK), I actually just arrived in Alicante!!!
After a very long trip. 3 flights and one redeye later, I feel a little vampire-ish but I’m sure a shower and a big lunch will keep me going. I’m avoiding taking a nap to fight off jet lag… we’ll see how long I last!
Hope you have a great day, I’ll write more later with an update of what we did today! Also, check out Monday’s post for details on my beefy giveaway ! You know you want an apron that says, “I heart beef”. There’s also a great cookbook and other goodies in the prize pack. Just make sure you enter before Thursday at 11:59PM EST. 
Adios amigos!
