Single digits sleeps...where did the time go? After 2 years of waiting, you'd think I'd be ready. Think again!! I did a suitcase and backpack dress rehearsal yesterday. With the restrictions this time around, I have to fit everything for Jayme and me into one (count 'em one) 26x18x11 bag that can't weigh more than 44 pounds. Yup, it all fit and I was within the weight restriction too - yippee!! We aren't able to leave a bag in Beijing like the last time. Oh and of course we'll be experiencing summer weather in Nanning and winter weather in Beijing...so you can see my dilemma. I opted to leave out diapers, wipes, formula and cereal this time around. I'll just pick up my supplies when we get to Nanning. There's a super walmart there. I wonder if it will look like the one in Kunming? Your typical walmart, except it was 4 floors high and they had tables of assorted (ahem) meats out in the open.
So here's what's left of my To Do List:
Upload more Jayme pictures
Put a small photo album together for Jayme's nanny
Get a nanny gift
Print off our travel itinerary for Lyle
Fax my travel insurance paper
Wash a few more Jayme clothes
Get extra photos of me and Lyle
Pick up the last of my U.S. $$$
Contact Mindy at Aeroplan
Send Lili's birthday card - sorry Kerry, it will arrive really early.
Wrap the last of my "Mommy misses Rylee" gifts
Photocopy ALL documents
Get my travel visas, passports and power of attorney sheet (Deborah is couriering them)
Pick up pink yarn (our group is tagging luggage)
Buy phone cards so Lyle can call his lovely bride (that's me) in China
Rylee needs new jeans, art paper and more scotch tape
Make sure my video camera is working...and I know HOW to work it.
Get my pedicure
Finish painting 2 more rooms...yeah, I thought it would be fun to do a renovation to 3 rooms in total in the past week!! Oh what was I thinking???
And last but not least....take the 2nd round of Dukoral vaccine. Finding a 2 hour window of time when I'm not eating is the trick to this one....LOL
