GOOD GRIEF!!!
I've only been gone 4 days and you guys have gone like 15 pages!!!! I'm out of breath just trying to keep up! (Of course the dial-up internet connection at my Grandmother's house helped me keep pace!

)
Hi new folks! Welcome!
We are a fun bunch! I hope I have enough energy to keep up with everyone. I am already sick of living out of a suitcase and we're not even half-way done!
Speaking of suitcases, I wasn't quite as good as I had hoped to be.

Managed to downsize from the 9 we left Burkina with to 4 plus the car seats. I had a duffle in one of the 4 for extra stuff we pick up along the way. Unfortunately, the car seats (boosters really) wouldn't fit in one of the 4 so I had to pull out the duffle and make it the car seat bag.
Good news - domestic airlines are counting our ticket as an international ticket, so not charging for checked bags. Bad news - I COULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER SUITCASE!!!!!!!
More bad news - still struggling to finish my FE gifts. Looks like I might have to resort to plan B and make some less personalized. Sorry in advance guys - I just took on waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Very typical, right AWL????
I still haven't received a confirmation from Shirley about our gift basket. Guess I need to get on the phone and give her a call.
You can thank DH for the Earl of Sandwich idea.

We are certainly looking forward to meeting everyone!!!
Well, better get back to FEs. DH is taking a nap, so I snuck onto the computer. I'm afraid to see our internet bill - grandma doesn't have anything but pay-as-you-go dial-up.

(Folks - it was faster in Burkina!!!!!

) But tomorrow, we'll be in TX - good o'l San Antone... with more modern connectivity, so I can keep up on the boards, finish FEs, and DH can do our door signs!
Talk to you all soon!
