DAY BEFORE OUR BIG TRIP

Well it is the night before. I can't sleep so I decided to add to the blog.
We are finished packing finally. And we are proud to say that we have 7 bags less than last time we went. This time we ONLY have 10 being checked and 2 carry ons. Maybe someday we will learn to pack light. But I have packed so many useful thing this time. The last time we went I made mental notes of everyday useful things that would make life easier while in Guatemala. The list included:
A good broom that actually sweeps
A dustpan with a rubber edge
Liquid dish soap
A dish scrubber bush
Pump hand soap
Plastic bowls
Tupperware type bowls with matching lids
Big roll of toilet paper that lasts more than 1 day
Cookbook with recipes I know
Measuring cups and spoons
Pizza cutter for cutting pancakes (we eat alot of pancakes there and now we can make them from scratch)
A table top fan to place right by my bed at night
A roll of screen to keep the bugs and scorpions out if we want to sleep with the window open
Window cooler, but we decided against it this trip :( Maybe next time

Anyways,the list goes on and on. I think every time we go it will get a little easier with these little conveniences that we take for granted every day.

I think I will go to bed now and hopefully I will be able to sleep, and not have dreams of being robbed or kidnapped.


My mind goes into overdrive the closer we get to going.

I will try to post every few days or at least once a week once we get there. We will be back July1st.
