Let the packing begin!

Well, today is it..the last day of work before the great adventure begins!

The Great Preparations have begun - list of emergency numbers, we know what to do in the event of injury/illness, phone numbers for credit card companies, hotel reservations in Singapore, for the cancelled Bangkok trip, a battery charger that works, converters..have not started putting the clothes in the suitcase yet, but have tomorrow to do that. Packing for 2 totally different climates - China and Hong Kong are similar to Columbus, and Singapore is WARM!

My cell phone does work over there, but please bear in mind the 13 hr time difference. Odds are high you will wake me up if you call during your day over here. :) God bless VM!

The exciting news of the day is that we are in business class all the way to Singapore! I thought we would have had to go back to coach on the layover in Hong Kong, but it appears we just stop for fuel in Hong Kong, as we have the same seat assignments all the way through! That is very exciting news on a 19 hr flight. I am sure we will all be stir crazy by then!

I am trying to keep the suitcases hidden from Little Chelsie Belle. I think she knows something is up - there is increased activity from normal, and I think she has seen the suitcases as I go in and out of the Buckeye Room (they are hidden in there and I keep the door to that room closed) I took her for a long walk yesterday before the rain came and had a play period with her in the basement last night with the pink kong she got for Christmas. I swear, she is OCD with that Kong. I will get home tonight to get her another long walk before the Buckeye game tonight - she will be sporting her Buckeye Scarf and I will have to get her OSU collar back on her. As promised, I have not attempted to cut any more of her nails before leaving.

I will probably post one or 2 more times before getting on the plane - we have a 4 hr layover in Chicago before our HK flight. You never know with winter in Chicago, so we wanted to make sure we had plenty of opportunity in the event of something falling out of plan. Hope everyone has a great day, and of course...GO BUCKS! Eat more Gator, taste like chicken!
