We leave (God willing) in 7 days. Today I am wiring the final payment to our adoption agency in America. It takes a week or so for money to be transferred internationally and I don't want there to be any delays. I will also pack the kids cloths. Everyone gets 3 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, 5 sets of under ware, one set of PJ's, 5 pairs of socks, two sweaters, and a swimsuit. We can do laundry there (actually there are many places that will do it for you cheaply). The 4 kids will share one big suitcase. They will have only one good pair of walking shoes, and a light jacket. The weather should be mild (22C, 65F).
