Someone wanted us list our entire packing list, but we thought we would spare you. Although, that might be a mixture of interesting, boring and a bit tedious...since our list is quite comprehensive! Keep in mind we only get two checked bags up to 50 pounds, and 1 carry on item under 15 pds each. It seems like a lot of room to work with however, just envision what we will need to live in a third world country for up to three months...for ALL three of us (including Baby M's needs: food, diapers, wipes, etc)! We had all of our bags packed with our necessities and then weighed them...each bag was over by at least 5 pounds. So we re-packed, re-weighed and now we are ready to get on that plane! Today is our last day to finish all those loose ends, but we feel prepared and ready for the next step of this journey!
We also had to prepare our house and animals for our up to three month departure. Although our friend will be providing the attention for them for three months, we set aside what they will need over the next three months.
We are all ready...for the long trip and for the arrival of Baby M!

Ah, the weighing and reweighing- so fun! FYI, you can bring a 15 pound carry on, plus a 'personal' bag, I believe. Our baggage did not get weighed, but of course you want to be within the range, just in case!
ReplyDeleteLots of love packed in those bags!
