Well, this trip's been 3 years in the making, and leave it to me to still be packing the last day! Actually, we decided to head down to Chicago tonight and spend the night in a hotel due to the predicted snow/ice storm for tomorrow. Today is Bill and my 13th wedding anniversary, so maybe we can catch a decent dinner to celebrate also.
I've got everything packed for 3 people for 2 weeks. And did it into 2 checked suitcases, 1 carry-on wheely bag and a backpack. I've got everything from diapers and formula, to baby food and sunscreen. Gifts for the nannies and the orphanage director, and toys for Ella to play with in the hotel room. A thick packet of paperwork for the U.S. Consulate, and various electronics including an iPod, laptop, camera, video camera, headphones for calling home via our computer, etc. Oh, and a few clothes for Bill & I! Don't be surprised to see us in the same clothes in every picture!
Today I went to school and had lunch with Ian. He was uncharacteristically quiet. I think it's starting to hit him that he won't see us for 2 weeks. I'm sure I will miss him more than he misses me, though. He's got some fun stuff planned for the weekends that we're gone.
