1 Week

Today is Monday and my last day of work. Next Monday I will be on a plane to Philadelphia. Next Wednesday morning I will be on a plane to Africa. Woohoo!

I don't have any more progress with being ready, since I spent my weekend in Gainesville. But, I did have an amazing time! Got to hang out with my cousin Brendan & his girlfriend Beth, Chad, Wendy, Amy, Liz, Kim, & other PC people. Got to check all of the best drinking games off the list on Friday and Saturday nights. Got to go to a PC Bowling party. Got to play paintball all day Sunday. And got to eat buy 1 get 1 free Moe's twice! Overall, a great weekend....although it was hard to say goodbye to some of my favorite people :-(

I don't quite have a plan for this week, but I definitely need to sit down and make a list. Hmmm, maybe I'll do that right now.....

  • transfer money out of extra savings account & then close it
  • finish Power of Attorney forms
  • buy last few things needed (rain pants, TSA locks, travel toiletries)
  • final pack, weigh-in, re-pack, final weigh-in of luggage
  • print out all necessary e-mails, paperwork, and contact info.
  • figure out what we are doing with my phone 
  • make phone calls to friends/family
  • pack up bedroom in boxes
  • hopefully solve/finish tax stuff?
  • visit with family & friends

  1. walmart has cheap tsa locks (a pack of four i think for around $10? that may be wrong though...)
    what are your thoughts on your phone?!? i was just going to drop it and go sans phone for my last few days in country - as much as that scares me (i guess it's what people did ten years ago before phones were as common?)

  2. I didn't see a pack of 4...they have a pack of 2 for about $5 at Wal-Mart & K-Mart though.
    My plan right now is to bring my phone with me to staging and then turn it off/ditch when we leave for Africa (my phone is not really worth anything)

  4. Ummmm, my neighbor had extra copies of them....I don't have electronic copies, otherwise I would send them to you. Have you searched online to see if you can download them/fill them out for free somewhere? I know that there are sites that have legal forms you can download.
