Listmaking

When I am planning a trip, one way I channel my nervous energy is by making lists. My current to-do list includes:

• Update phone & address list
• Visit friends & have parties
• Buy a new laptop (that can show DVDs)
• Collect used DVDs
• Make host-family gifts (potholders, maybe)
• Make travel sheets
  

Since this trip involves an international move, preparation is compounded by the need to purge junk, pack boxes, change addresses, resettle pets, and a million other tasks required to close down a household for two+ years. But obsessing about my to-do list is part of the fun!

Travels with Trevor begins!

We are planning a big trip. I am packing and preparing.

"Things look good"

Our neighbor RR is a RPCV. Last week he and his wife went to Washington DC for a PC conference.

Trevor and RR were both waiting to cross the road on their bikes the other day on the way to work. Trevor said RR told him he had seen our PC recruiter at the conference, and the recruiter told him that things look good for us.

What does that mean??
