17 days!

The trip is quickly approaching!

I am done shopping for everything thanks to the help from my extended family! The gift certificates to eBags & Amazon helped in getting everything off my list! : )

I packed everything to make sure I was within the restrictions. My "suitcase" weighs 14 pounds! Success! I am also taking a backpack as my "personal item" to hold whatever doesn't fit in my suitcase. Everything seems to fit perfectly with no extra room! I even got all of my liquids into a quart-sized Ziploc bag easily!

Yesterday we had our all-staff meeting/holiday party at the Center for Disabilities Studies & Dr. Eisenman (our trip advisor) spent part of the meeting explaining the trip. Everyone was so excited for us & also very jealous! I can't wait to come back & share our experiences with everyone.
