Packing

My Criminal Background Check FINALLY came in and I sent it off to Korea. Now that it’s in they can send for my visa and I can book my flight. It takes 2 weeks for the visa to go through and I only have 3 weeks before takeoff so I hope things go smoothly. I booked a flight for Friday October 10th. That means I’ll arrive Saturday night in Korea and have Sunday to relax and then Monday morning I start training. Talk about hitting the ground running! On Sunday I wanna try and hit up that church in Korea that’s the largest church in the world… either Sarang or Yoido, not sure.
At this point my focus is turning toward packing. I’m such a last minute packer… I actually pack better that way. With this I can’t be though. My stuff is going so many different places that I need to be organized about this. Last weekend when I went up to Boston for my sister’s wedding I took a carful of stuff to my mom’s. I was so impressed with how much fit in my tiny little car… I love my little Honda Fit. One of my friends has no room in her house, but she is being gracious enough to let me store my large items there such as my bed, desk and dresser. Another friend of mine offered to take some boxes of mine too. Once again, thanks so much guys! It’s a huge help. I got some tips from some of my Korean friends about what to pack. #1 item… deodorant. It’s difficult to find there since they don’t really need it. I figure I’ll bring a few items like Advil and Nyquil just in case I need it early on and I haven’t learned enough Korean by that time to know which product to buy. I’m not even sure how much I’m bringing with me to Korea. I keep thinking “just my clothes and a couple of other small items”, but then I think about my coats and shoes… I have a lot of shoes. That alone will take up a lot of room. And don’t ask me to choose cuz I love them all and remember where I got each pair like they were my kids or something. Maybe I’ll just have to pay the fee for a second bag. Decisions, decisions.
