Last Day in America

So what does one do on one's final day (for a while) in the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I think packing tops our list. Thanks to British Airways, we get three checked bags each, so at 50 pounds per bag, that's a lot of baggage! So far we have five of our six packed, and the final one is at 30 pounds. It's full, though, so I'm trying to figure out how to take advantage of the final 20 pounds without creating much more volume! We have a vacuum-sealed space saver bag with a pillow and a quilt in it in there, so that's a fair bit of space without much weight. Andrew's mom quilted us a beautiful wedding quilt that we're happy to be taking along.

Enjoying some graham crackers dipped in melted chocolate chips is the only other major activity I'll be doing today. Andrew has some fun with friends planned for this evening.

Oh yes, and finishing our taxes... What a way to spend our final day in America, doing taxes!

  1. Graham crackers dipped in melted chocolate chips sounds like an awesome snack-- I'll have to try that with Micaiah sometime. Have you ever tried East African substitutes? Digestives dipped in melted Dairy Milk bar? :)

    Safari njema, friends!
