Come with us for a weekend in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay! Our original plan was to be on the 12:30 PM Buquebus ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia, but immigration decided that we needed a document that we didn't actually need. So we had to push our ferry back to the 6:45 PM. Since it turned out that we didn't actually need those documents, it was incredibly frustrating that we lost half a day. However, once we were able to get on the ferry the day really turned around.

For the most part it has been pretty smooth since moving here. However, there have been a few culture shocks that I've experienced as an American moving to Argentina.

There are many things that I LOVE about Buenos Aires, but three things in particular stand out especially when I compare them to their counterparts at home.

Since I've already addressed the things that I'm glad that I brought overseas I wanted to also go over the things that I regret bringing or wish that I had brought for six months in Argentina.

We've officially been in Argentina for a month. Since we are nice and settled I've been able to think about all of the things that we have that I'm SO glad we brought from home. So I wanted to share this list with you incase you are planning any overseas travel too!

I did something I swore that I would never do. I bought a second stroller. If you know me at all you know that this a HUGE deal. We have had our UPPAbaby Vista stroller since 2016 when I bought it. The Black Friday before my daughter was born. I love this stroller with all of my heart. We use it constantly and both of our kids have loved it. I love that the rumble seat goes up to 50 pounds, It folds up really nicely and will stand up on its own and it's easy to take care of. UPPAbaby is also amazing when it comes to warranty and replacing parts or even finding new parts that need to be replaced that aren't under warranty. While this is an expensive stroller, you get the bassinet and the rumble seat with it and it has lasted us seven years, two kids and a lot of traveling.

It was a long flight to Argentina so I made sure to make each of the kids airplane activity kits to keep them entertained. We put each kids toys in a travel cosmetic case and I want to show you what I put in each, because they were a hit and came in clutch for the flight.

My family is going to Argentina for six months. We are leaving the beginning of June and we're coming back mid December and it's time to pack! There's a lot of stuff I can't pack yet because we're using it but once Jackie is out of school I  will be able to go through her stuff with her and have her pick out favorite toys. I thought I would take you along for the ride while I packed to show you the suitcases that we have, the packing cubes that I'm using, the essential things that I'm using to pack.

My family is going to Buenos Aires, Argentina for six months. We leave at the beginning of June and come back the middle of December. Up until now I've been wrapping up my DIY projects and prepping my house for another family to stay in it for six months. I'm finally at the point where I can start packing. I started by throwing everything I knew that I wanted to bring on the guest bed on the third floor. It's a lot so I will do an extra post on that. So I'm going to do a separate post on packing, suitcases and all of that. Today I want to talk about the stuff that I'm actually taking. Obviously this is not going to be an extensive list, but I want to talk about some important things and why I'm taking them.

Traveling to visit my grandparents in Germany when I was a kid turned into working with my parents being able to travel the world together. We've been doing it since I was five. My mom is in the market for a new suitcase. So she bought 10 off of Amazon and we're going to put them through a rigorous testing process to actually find out which Amazon suitcase is really the best. We've ranked them 1-10 and given you the pros and cons of each.

This summer being the 10 year anniversary of Breezing Through is incredibly fitting for the announcement I have for you today! This year, I’ll be reverting back to the original intent of this space- traveling. In June our family is moving to Argentina for 6 months!
