So it begins again


Here examples of the current topics in our house right now ...

When do you think you'll be done with school? (This is a bit of a loaded question)

Tell me again, how much are shipping costs with that company ...

Don't you think that 20kg is pretty heavy for a package?

How did we get so much crap here?

Do you think that you are going to REALLY want that back in the US?

When it comes down it it, we have just, and I mean just over 3 months left here in HK.  Of that, only 2 months left in our apartment.  We are giving notice on 31 March and moving out 30 April, then become homeless for a month.  

We are now in shipping mode.  We brought 2 boxes of stuff; mostly clothes and books, to the post office today.  To ship a box that weighs 12.5 kg (27.5 lbs) by air is USD$141, to ship the box by boat it was USD$65.  The boat won - and so our stuff will start to arrive at my mom's in about 6-8 weeks.  We figured that anything that is getting packed up now and shipped, we won't need for a while.

The above picture is just another 3 boxes of stuff that has Gabby's clothes, books and the Terracotta Warriors we got in Xi'an.  Crazy, Crazy Crazy ... I can't believe that it's almost over.
