Thank God for the iPod!

My luggage cannot exceed 80 pounds... that's approx. 2 bags (and I will be there over 2 years!)

I must admit that my first thought regarding that 80 pound limit was " how can I take my music with me?" I have been able to remedy that problem by getting an iPod. Yes that's right...the girl who refuses to get a cell phone owns the ultra trendy iPod. It is so small and able to hold 5,000 songs. I have since moved on to being concerned with sleeping bags now. They are pretty steep in price actually (at least the ones that fold up small that I need to get are.) I made my flight arrangements to Philadelphia yesterday which is where I will meet up with the rest of my group and we all get our vaccinations and everything and turn in all the important paperwork like power of attorney and life insurance stuff. After that, we leave as a group to New York to depart from JFK airport on Jan 25th. Luckily, I have no problem with shots because I will be getting quite a bit of them! I will keep everyone posted and I hope the holidays were great for everybody! I miss you all already :)
