I'm allotted 50 lbs for my checked luggage (x1 piece) unless I feel like pay fees for an extra bag or overweight luggage. Not 56. I'm looking at my main suitcase - it has plenty of room, just needs to lose weight. AND, as I look around my room, I still see my uniform, a pair of shoes, some miscellaneous items (including batteries, my camera, netbook, jewlery, glasses, etc.), 3 lbs of chocolate, and about 6 lbs of jelly beans that still need to go. hmmmm....this could be a challenge. Good thing I have a few days to work on it :)
I'm SO happy I went shopping with Susie today - I found a great black jacket ($4), some new collared shirts to go under the jacket (very professional, and about $3 each), another pair of Navy shoes (back-up for the Calvin Kleins - $5), and a spare pair of Gap Kakies ($10). I feel good about what I'm taking, hopefully the photos turn out well :S
I seriously feel like I'm going to get there and have forgotten something very obvious, like toothpaste. Or just one whole set of things, like, "ooops, guess I forgot that bag of socks!". I've never been on a trip this long or this far away - I think I'm just putting WAY too much pressure on packing :)
Well, back to the challenge I suppose. On a side note - the attached pictures are of the group heading to New Delhi in our uniform (we won't wear it all of the time - just when we visit clubs and give our presentation).
Best wishes on your big trip!! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you take your long flight to the other side of the world. Have fun! Enjoy yourself! Eat a whole bunch of Naan for me too!! What an experience of a lifetime!!
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled to see you have a blog to follow you along on!! Ben said you should have PLENTY of internet access there too! The hotel he stayed in when he was there was so state of the art it made most US hotels look like they were designed in the dark ages!! Seriously.
Love you and see you soon!!!
