So the packing has begun. We know it is still 2 weeks out, but doing a little every day is making the task much easier.
Unfortunately, most of our stuff is the husband's books. Heavy books. So we are doing our best to divide them up between 4 suitcases and 2 carry-ons. Also we have 3 massive paintings that a friend made for us that we could find no justification for leaving.
Throw in a few odds and ends and the suitcases are filling up fast! Most of our clothes will not be making the journey back with us. The main reason is they don't fit us anymore. We've lost so much weight that all our clothes are at least 2 sizes too big. We are not complaining; we enjoy these kind of hardships :-)
