Preparing to embark!

So, only about 46 days until I'm off! I still have so much to do to prepare and gather together. I need to buy luggage next. My to do list and to get list is kind of scaring me but it will get done slowly but surely.

Go to Dentist
Go to Doctor for last check up

Get year supply of contacts
Good flashlight

Figure out how to use Skype

Copy important documents

Find some really good roach killer

Water purifyer tablets

Bugspray

Batteries

Dryer sheets

A decent pair of sunglasses

Sunscreen!! Equator rays? yikes! my last burn was very unpleasant.

Print pictures of family and such

Some comfy shoes that are inbetween flipflops and sneakers

Ziplock bags

2 Giant Suitcases

First aid kit with all the essentials

Maybe some gifts for the people I'll meet

Finish finding skirts

Make a book of recipes to bring

Familiar spices for cooking

Sewing kit

A better alarm clock

Calling cards for internet
Hair things

Gladware

This is only a start. I think I need to go to Costco. How will I ever fit everything in my bags? I need to think, 'minimalist.'

Also, my address on the island will be

Katherine Miller

Yap SDA School

P O Box 700

Colonia, Yap FSM 96943

Advice for shipping stuff: Get a flat rate box and ship by priority mail. It'll get here faster and you can fit a lot more stuff in the box for the weight.

The next post will probably be right before I leave in July.
