Everytime that I leave for Haiti, I try to be packed and prepared way in advance...but it never works out that way. The same is true this time around. Joshua and Teddy are coming with me. In total, we have six suitcases that we can bring, plus our carry on luggage. The carry on luggage is devoted for our personal belongings. The suitcases are dedicated to carry formula, playpens, diapers, baby wipes and sheets. ... altogether 300 pounds!This is a photo from our March 2007 trip. Teddy and my friend Yolo went with me.
I have a really long "to do" list before I leave:
1) Make sure that I have all our passports and any papers I might need for Tamarah's visa.
2) Make sure to weight all suitcases because none can be more than 50 pounds each.
3) Make sure that all the bills are paid. (Wouldn't it be something to come home and the electricity is turned off because I forgot to pay the bill prior to leaving?)
4) Study for law school exam --- yes, you read correctly! I have a 4-1/2 law school exam from 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Our plane leaves at 6:00 p.m.!
5) Study for law exam... LOL
6) Make sure to remember to pack several warm outfits for Tamarah for the airplane ride home. It is cold inside of the airplane. She is not used to air conditioning.
7) Make sure that I have all the small gifts for the nannies, etc.
8) Check to see what Joshua has packed for himself...he is a fashion conscious young man... Definately check what he packed!
9) Don't forget the camera!
10) Bug Spray! --- The mosquitos just LOVE to eat me!
11) Pack my law books so I can get a head start on studying for the Fall semester.
I am sure that I am forgetting something...
