Adios America!

This is my first post, and the last post from the US!  I leave Sunday evening from JFK and Monday afternoon I will arrive in Santiago de Compostela.  So far, the biggest struggle in getting ready has been staying below the 50 lb checked bag limit.   50 lbs initially seemed like a lot of space, but I found it's really not.  I thought I had been doing a great job of only taking the necessities (I only packed two pairs of jeans!), and then my suitcase weighed  60 pounds.  Many attempts later and my suitcase is finally down to exactly 50 pounds, which means I will definitely be upgrading to 70 pounds when I return in June.

I'm very excited to go, but still a little nervous.  Monday I will be spending the day in Santiago de Compostela and then Tuesday, I will finally be in Laxe.  I really have no idea what to expect but I will be sure to keep you posted as soon as I have internet!
