My Bags Are Packed

My bags are finally (!) packed and in less than 24 hours I'll be making my way to Toronto to catch my flight to Seoul. There was a minor debacle this morning when I weighed my suitcase only to find out that it was 100lbs. After popping some Advil and devouring a chocolate bar, I unpacked the entire suitcase, slimmed down the amount of shoes I was taking from 7 pairs to 3 (2 pairs of which are already boxed and ready to be shipped once I find out my address). With the shoe weight decreased, I spent a good hour walking around the house debating what could be left behind, what could be shipped and what I had to take with me. The result: A 70lbs duffle bag, a 50lbs pack and two carry-ons when I'm technically only allowed one. Fingers are firmly crossed for kind ladies working the Korean Air check-in counter.
