Packed!


This is where we started

(not taking the red bag because we can only have one carry on each NOT a carry on and a personal item)
The BIG pile

Fitting it all inDaddy good times


Mommy has to focus


We got it all in and we are at 42 pounds each checked bag. The only change from what you see here is we decided to not take the red diaper bag or the black carry on bag with us. We are only allowed one carry on each so we will be taking our rolling carry on bag. Instead and the red and black backpack. We have a few last minute things to throw in the bags but we are ready to go. Packing was a challenge that was fun. We took a verity a clothes sizes for Sophia (some 9 months and some 12 months). We have snacks with us for a touch of home (we may do a survivor like auction in the hotel room hallway one night LOL). We have more medications with us then we will ever need but again we are willing to share with our wonderful travel group. We are looking forward to getting the show on the road....

8 more sleeps to China......

food that saved my life: peanut butter and breakfast bars. easy to pack. I also brought those tuna and cracker "kits" and did they ever taste good when you're stuck in your room. Instant coffee helped too!!
and for the princess....well...can we all say Cheerios!!!!!
