15 Days and Counting

Well, we're 15 days out and things are coming along nicely. We have our passports and our visas arrived last week. I think Ryan and I are going to sit down this week and try to figure out an itinerary. We want to be able to do some things with Eric if he is able to get time off, but we won't know about any of that until the time comes. There is so much we want to see, and with Ryan being a construction nerd, he's really excited about seeing some of the architecture. I want to see some of it, too...but I want to shop.

On the packing front, we have all of our toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, shave gel, lotion, body wash, hand sanitizer) and travel sized containers. In fact, Ryan has labeled them all using his label maker. I actually walked in on him filling them with shampoo and conditioner 2 nights ago. He looked a little offended at my suggestion that it could wait a week...or two.

We also got a portable DVD player for the plane ride over (uggh...13 hours). I did some shopping this past weekend and picked up a couple of pairs of shorts and t-shirts. I am such a princess when it comes to traveling and I am really trying not to over do it (I have already been told that I am not allowed to bring a fan or my pillow), but I like to have options. I have to keep reminding myself that the more I take, the less room I will have for bringing back stuff. I am sure that I'll get it figured out. It would be great if we knew we could wash and dry stuff, but we won't know that until we get there. I seriously think that if I can pack for a week of camp in a carry on sized bag and have more than enough to wear, I will be fine.
