My final "in preparation of amazing adventure" list

I’ve been putting off the simplest task of just writing down the list of all the things to do and buy before I go… but for whatever reason, blogging seems like less work so I’m forcing myself to finally write it out on here. This way—just MAYBE, I’ll get my stuff finally done!

To Do:

٭ Change my voicemail to say “out of country”
٭ Change my car insurance to a garage policy

٭ Get Dad a list of my passwords, bank accounts, info on the cats, key to my apt
٭ Call the airline and request a gluten-free meal on all flights
٭ Get the plug-in adapter from Dad
