My Last Blog Post From America!

This is it folks! I leave for Germany in 4 days and knock on wood, but I think I'm ready. I picked up my Euros this morning which was the second to last thing on my checklist. If you bank with American Savings, they have a really convenient way to simply order foreign currency online and pick it up in any branch. You don't have to bring in cash to exchange, they just take it out of your bank account.

There is one final thing on my check list, and that is to scan and make copies of all of my important documents. Here's what I'll be copying...
  1. Social security card
  2. Passport (note: print a copy of your passport and leave it in your checked luggage in case it get's lost)
  3. Drivers license
  4. Debit card
  5. Credit card
  6. Birth certificate
  7. Bank account numbers (note: I made my dad a power of attorney on my bank accounts so that he can deposit the paychecks I'll get from my last month of work as well as wire me any money if I need it)
  8. Travel itinerary
  9. Proof of insurance
  10. Letter of acceptance from Tübingen
  11. Enrollment request from Tübingen
  12. Hostelling International membership card
  13. Hostel booking

I'll be making copies to leave at home with my parents as well as a digital copy to leave on a USB with them. I'll also be bringing copies with me in my carry on, since I'll need a lot of this stuff when I matriculate anyways. After this, I just need to pack and I'll be ready to go! Next time I check in, I'll be in Germany. Bis bald!
