Packing To Go

This was what my room looked like the night before I left for Haiti. It is so hard to decide what you need to pack. It was even harder this time because I will be staying a year. I packed several skirts (purchased at Goodwill and the Red, White and Blue Thrift Store in Pittsburgh, PA). The plastic coat hangers didn't make the cut not enough room. I will try to get someone from an upcoming team to bring them down. I packed several bars of soap, a lot of shampoo and conditioner (imagine that), and plenty of toothpaste. After all was packed, I left for Haiti with two carry on bags (one so heavy I could barely lift it up into the overhead-bin) and two check bags weighing 56 pounds and 68 pounds. Needless to say on my departure American Airlines made an easy $100. Peace, Missy
