Carolyn!

I'm so glad you have a blog now... one more that I can (obsessively) check! And about your list: Ziploc bags, of COURSE... they don't even have them in England, and I miss them. Also those cheap Tupperware alternatives (like Gladware) that you can use to store leftovers.

And Heather reminds me of the tacos.. yeah, that was pretty exciting each time we got to eat Mexican food. That and some homemade chocolate cake.

One more tip about packing: If you haven't already, get some of those vacuum-seal bags where you can press or vacuum all the air out of your stuff. Sounds kind of odd, but it really helps you take a lot more stuff, especially coats and sweaters.

Good luck and keep us posted!!
