Countdown...

Hong Kong, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, & Driving Across America

We are counting down the days to our 5 month long journey to the other side of the world! We are all extremely excited and can't wait to get started. The next few days are filled with packing, sorting, and saying goodbye to family & friends... not to mention all the other odds and ends that creep up on us!
We are attempting to keep our packing to a minimal. Basically, enough clothes for a week and hopefully everything should fit into two suitcases for the four of us! Luckily, boys require much less in the form of clothing than girls! For entertainment, the boys will have their DS, regular and spoken books on the ipod, schoolwork, and of course mama & papa.

    Busy, busy, busy success with the preps for this adventure.

    By the way, Bart only needs clothes for 1 day and an extra pair of swimming trousers. Which should give you plenty of space to pack an evening gown ... just in case.

    Tessa woke up this morning and first things she asked, "are Bart and Kara still in Honk Honk?" Gotta love her...that globe you gave us is coming in handy! Missing you and looking forward to the latest news from the other side of the world.
