Oh, the other thing that is kind of stressful is that the travel agent didn't get my bank draft yet. She has all the others, but not mine... I sent it the same day as everyone and that was 2 weeks ago now! Makes me a bit nervous. She said to not worry about it until later next week, but I'm worried now!! Worst case scenario is that I need to issue another one. I don't know how bank draft's work, but if the first one shows up then I can cancel it or something. This is another thing I will be figuring out tomorrow.
Not much has been crossed off my packing list, but that is partially due to items still being in use. I am surprised by how many things I need to pack. There is no way it will weigh the allotted 50lb!!! My second bag needs to be free for medical supplies though! We'll see how this goes.

Hey Ashley- just one thing that came to mind reading your list (I'll give it more thought over the next couple days) is that I would want my own my own plug adapter. I really never needed a voltage converter in my 5 years because my Ipod, camera, computer, hair dryer, etc all did the voltage conversion. But, I couldn't survive a day without the adapter to fit the outlet- I sometimes used more than one at a time. So, I wouldn't want to just rely on a group one. They're relatively inexpensive and very small and light. Happy packing- so excited for you!
Okay... your bag is so over the limit! :) But really this is the "everything-you-could-possibly-need" list. You could cut back and survive. I'm sure of it. :)
Yes!! Tell me what I could cut back! This is the list we have from our teacher. We "have" to bring it all, but I would love to "forget" some at home!
just a tip.. with the medications.. not everyone in your mini group needs to bring all of those! we ended up sharing all our meds anyways because we didn't all bring everything. also, save space and take the meds out of the boxes and put them in ziplocs.
and i'm on board with nancy - we had 2 in our group of four and it worked out okay, but 1 wouldn't have been enough.
