(Excerpted from Cindy’s blog)
We leave to go back to the States in 5 days now. The last 3 weeks we have been selling furniture on TradeMe and pretty much everything has sold. Some of it for much more then we paid for it. And some for not very much at all.
We have practice packed to get our baggage down to the airline’s required weight.
We are now getting ready for our garage sale to try and get rid of the remaining household stuff.
We are each taking home our 2 complimentary 70 lb. checked bags, one of them being a bike box, and an additional 70 lb. box with things Rick has packed. And then we each have our carry on. It will be interesting to see if we have any problems getting all our stuff on the plane. And then to see if the shuttles we are taking can fit all our baggage in. We better not forget to pack our patience!
Sarah is packed and looking forward with great anticipation to her flight on Thursday. She already has plans to go shopping on Friday with friends.
Our New Zealand experience is coming to a close. I don’t regret coming as I have made a few good friends and learned much about myself (a wierd thing since you would think if you knew anyone it would be yourself)!
So onward….
