Pam, Diane and I met at the church yesterday to make copies of what we needed for our English lessons. I can't believe we are now down to the wire. Things are pretty well under control though. The tough part is whether or not we have prepared well enough for this particular age group. The good thing is we are all very flexible and will be able to tweak our plans to fit the needs of this group. I am still cutting out pictures from all the donated magazines for our word folders for the kids to take home. It would be unrealistic to take all the heavy magazines to have the kids cut their own.
I have contacted United Airlines to see if we can get our craft supplies duffel bags through baggage without cost. I have heard it is really hard though. Please pray they say yes, so we don't have any additional expense.
Wheatland Salem Church has duffel bags specifically to pack our things in. They are much lighter than a suitcase. We are allowed only 50 pounds per bag. My lightest suitcase is already 12 pounds empty This will be my first trip of really packing light! I know I will be hand washing a lot of things in the sink! I will miss the wheels from my luggage though.
Is anyone out their reading this blog? I haven't seen any comments come through yet. It would help to know I am not just typing into cyperspace!
See? I'm following your blog now! Maybe some more of your friends will too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judy,
