As a wise friend told me- pack little

Lizzie passed along the best advice that had been given to her before she left for India: Pack little, physically and emotionally. I don't know how the emotional packing will go, but physically, I am for sure packing light. I hope to evaluate my attachment to the material- I will pack what I can carry, and even that may be going overboard!

Emotionally it is much harder to pick and choose the necessary items. Saying goodbye has never been my strong suit, however, it is an important and necessary step in preparing for overseas. Though it is certainly not forever, 4 months feels like a very long time. I will carry little physically, but emotionally I carry so many wonderful people, their lessons and wishes. I carry them with me because they are a part of me. I am so blessed and so grateful!
