Four days until take off!

I have four days left until I leave Seattle to embark on my adventure, and it's much more stressful than I thought. I've been excited for months to leave and now that it's getting down to packing and pulling everything together, I'm realizing I have no idea how to pack for a five month journey! My plan for the next five months covers many different climates so it is really hard to pack lightly when I need to pack so many different things. I will first arrive in Rome and spend 3 weeks in Orvieto {about an hour outside of Rome}, taking the train into Rome on the weekend to see sights and stay in hostels. Next I will go to Venice where I will spend 5 days seeing the city. I fly from Venice to France where I will work on a farm for 3 weeks {hopefully with Finnean!} and then spend a week in Paris {also hopefully with Finnean}. From Paris I fly into Bangkok, and will take the train to a farm in southern Thailand. I will stay here for three weeks and then travel back to Bangkok where I will meet Bailey and spend a week in the city. We will be there for the Thai new year and the festival that accompanies it, Songkran. Bailey and I will next go to Nepal where we will trek the Langtang trail for two weeks and spend about a week in Kathmandu. From Nepal I fly to Hawaii where I will spend a whole month working on a farm, hiking the Napali coast, learning to surf, and relaxing. Five months seems like an extremely long time to be away from home, the longest I've ever been gone is 3 weeks, but I'm sure it will go by extremely fast. I'm counting down the hours until my departure.
