Yipeee!
James and I worked our last shift Thursday night. It was busy and we were more than ready to leave by 0700. I spent today gathering things together on our bed, making sure I had everything. I had to make a trip to Academy to return the shoes I bought for the trip. I wore them around for a few hours and they weren't as comfortable as I thought. I bought a cheaper pair by $20, New Balance, which shows you, higher price doesn't always mean better. Of course a trip to Best Buy is always good, showed the "MAC" guy there my blog so he can follow our trip. I befriended him before Christmas when I was shopping for my MAC and always stop in to say hi when I go there. He has actually been to India so was interested in our trip.
I told James I would post my packing list so here it is:
On the plane, long cotton pants with a button shirt, shoes and socks, underwear, belt and neckbag for passport, money etc

I'm waiting for someone to poke fun at your list, but it probably isn't going to happen. I hope that I do end up febrile in a place that has never seen AA batteries.
ReplyDeleteSpartacus will feel bad if I don't come back from this trip.
Ha ha ha ha, Jimmy, you are too funny! We don't want any febrile illness on this trip!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of febrile illness:
