Well, we're getting down to the wire as I prepare for my journey to Indonesia. My bags are just about packed with the exception of a few things to go in my carry-on luggage. The big suitcase sitting on the floor is almost completely filled with things going to my son and his family. The small duffle bag suitcase has 5 weeks worth of clothes in it (am I optimistic on this or what?) and the wheeled tote will be filled with my meds and electronic gear.
Some things did NOT make the cut (dolls excluded - they weren't going to begin with). It's unfortunate but I consulted with my little family overseas and we made compromises. In some cases, where I had multiple amounts of something, I included part and left some behind. In other cases, we are figuring that I can either mail these items to them when I return or they can stay here until the next time they are Stateside.
Now I'm just going around the house making sure I haven't forgotten something. I'll get out the purse I'm taking and get that organized tonight. I do feel a little bad that this little Christmas decoration is probably the only holiday decorating that will be found in our house. I don't think that the Commander will be putting up any other things in my absence. Oh well, maybe we can have a small "belated holiday celebration" upon my return.
Hopefully the next blog posting will be from Jakarta, enroute to Bandung. In the meantime, if I cross your mind, say a prayer for safe travels. It would be much appreciated.
