48 Hours and Counting

Holy Moly, where has the time gone???? It seemed that just yesterday I was posting about 16 days being left and now we are into counting the hours, not just the days anymore. The anticipation is building, along with the anxiety, excitement, etc. I stayed home today so that I could finish up my to do list. At this time I think that I have all of my to do errands run, it's just a few things here and there that need to be taken care of before I take off! Here are some pictures of my suitcase thus far. My goal is to take one large suitcase down there and two carry-on pieces. While I am down in Australia I plan on purchasing an additional piece of luggage and loading it up with gifts, etc for everyone. There is also a significant amount of space that I will have back in my initial large suitcase from the gifts that I am taking down there.

While I say it's just 48 more hours, that is just until we leave. The trip there is going to be LONG. Tuesday afternoon we fly from MCI to O'Hare and then to LAX and then the LONG flight to Sydney (about 19 hours or so) and then from Sydney to Adelaide. If you have any suggestions about things to do while I am en route, please let me know!!! I am thinking about downloading the Wizard of Oz to my i tunes account so I can watch it on my way to Australia.

I will try to post AT least one more time before I leave!
