3 days and I’ll be in the USA! 

Here are 3 items I started the race with (brand new) that have served me well, and will soon go into retirement. 

  1. My Chacos. Lord knows these poor things have seen it all. From city streets to who-knows-what is on the ground. Not to mention a 12 hour hike on a Volcano, with every other hiking excursion we had on our adventures. 

PS: They smell worse than they look.

2.My Airporter: AKA bag that covers my actual bag in order to protect it from all the hits, rips and “ew-what-is-that?” On travel days. 

3. My adapter. This is a bit of a metaphor, as the purpose of this object is to convert voltages and prongs to useable measures. So as you can see this adapter has seen better days, as it is now a bit worse for wear. But hey! It still works. 

Stay tuned for tomorrow‘s continuation of the countdown!!
