Less than 100 hours left in America

With less than 100 hours remaining, I believe I can now start my list of things to do and things that I will miss. This is an ongoing list and will continue to change. Feel free to check back at any time.

Things that I need to do:

Finish scanning picture books to be taught to my kids
Print photos of friends and family!

Figure out the weight of my suitcases and make sure that they do not exceed 20 kilos each. If they do... then make sure they don't exceed 50 lbs each. OVERWEIGHT BAGGAGE charges here I come!

As of 9p Monday:
Duffel: 26 lbs.. now 33
Suitcase: 47 lbs.. now 43
Total of 73 lbs... somehow that's now 76 lbs

Send emails to friends and family on how to contact me.


PACK:
Dictionary
Nail polish
Headphones
Old electronics that I haven't used in forever but I think will actually be useful: aka, tape recorder and cd player.
Stickers, Temp Tats for the kids
Makeup
Belts, Scarves, Headbands
Notebooks
Jewelry
ONE TOWEL, SHEET
ALL OF MY UNDERWEAR/SOCKS
shoes: pumps, flats, tennies
Shampoo, conditioner, straightener, curling iron
Cutting knife, sandwich bags
sailor hat? (this is probably not useful but... my god, I can do whatever I want with this sailor hat)

BUY:

The prints of photos of my friends and fam
Saline solution
BUG SPRAY

Things that I will miss:

The idea that drinks should be cold. Ice cubes, I will miss you so much. Warm beer? Why yes, I'll still drink you.
The over usage of air conditioning.. everywhere. Hello muggy heat and sweating right out of the shower.
Middle Eastern food. Japanese, Thai, Hamburgers, Cheese, Malbecs, Blueberries, COKE ZERO, Chickfila
Hulu
my CHI
baking cupcakes
use of a dryer
Target
all of these things.

Things I can't wait to do: 

See my friends in Asia: Keiko, Greg, Auggie, Yasu, Fei, Nick
Watch World Cup in the middle of the night
Eat disgustingly yummy things and post pictures of it for your enjoyment.
Get my hair washed in Taiwan
Eat deliciously fresh Japanese food.
Ramen.
Not feel ashamed about taking food photos because EVERYONE does it in Asia. That's a billion people, fools.
Liquid yogurt
Cheap DVDs, shoes, purses
