Hey everyone! I’m susieq, back with a different username because it’s been such a long time since I posted that I forgot my login information.

For months on end I have been donating, selling & tossing everything we don’t need for our move to Mexico in June. We are only taking 4 suitcases & 2 backpacks, so practically everything has had to go. Fortunately, we have made 2 previous trips with the same luggage each time, & the condo we bought is furnished, so it’s not as bad as it seems. I did have to come to terms with having to part with a few prized possessions & creating a different wardrobe for the tropics, but developing a more minimalistic mentality has been a good thing for me.
