Packing - Abroad

I'm traveling on EVA airways, a Taiwanese airline that I feel is always consistent on their service, food, accomodations and prices

Day 2 and 3 in Portland

I came to the PNW during this time so I can see it at it's worst.... It's a clear and beautiful day in Portland! Even though it's now 50F outside, I'm still cold!! 

Portland

Finally!.... And it's still cold!!! 

After being delayed several times, I got in to Portland later than I wanted so I had to get to my hostel to check in and find food cause I was starving and I had an agenda 

Van City

I decided to take the Amtrak in to Vancouver because it was cheaper and I wanted to take the scenic route. I booked my ticket online ahead of time, printed my ticket and showed up to the train station (if you book 2 weeks in advance, they have a great deal)

Seattle

I flew in to Seattle  (HOLY MOLY it's COLD!!!)  and made my way on the Link Light Rail to get to the city (depending on which terminal you fly in to, you use a shuttle or walk to get to the Link platform). It cost me $2.75 one way and should have taken about 45 mins but there was an issue with the track and we had to get off. No problem, google maps told me the next bus right outside of the Link stop would get me to my destination and I showed my Link pass and was able to connect with no problem. 

My hostel, The Green Tortoise, was located right across the street from Pike Place Market!

Day 2 and 3 in San Francisco

I love waking up to the sound of 49ers fans cheering their faces off across the street!.. Congrats all the same!

So far the weather has been great so I decided to jump on the F street car to the Ferry Building and see what's going on there

Wearing flowers in my hair... Get it?

First stop-San Francisco!

Packing - PNW

I've recently been introduced to extremely light packing and now I'm obsessed with seeing how little I can pack for all my trips

Once you pull out all the things you think you need and compare it to the unit you have to fit it all in, you realize you don't need as much stuff as you thought 

So throughout my blog I will explain and post pictures about what and how I'm packing for certain trips 

I think packing for the cold and wet PNW will be fun...

Who am I. Where am I going?
