Packing and tying up loose ends - Jocelyn

I am officially unemployed and charged with packing and tossing all that we own. We are planning to sell ALL furniture and fit all that we want for the next 2 years into 2 suitcases each and 2 carry ons. Holy crap! My shoes alone could take up 2 suitcases - though I am not sure how appropriate my Marc Jacobs shoes would be for glacier hiking....sigh......I am excited about the journey ahead and would not want to take this on with anyone else other than Trey. We make a great team and this will prove it! Keep checking out our adventures leading up to the travel date and beyond. We leave the US July 25. Our journey begins going from Boston to LA. We will spend the day with Cynthia (my sister for those who are not familiar) and then off to Auckland and then Christchurch where Dr. Richard Blaikie will pick us up (the professor Trey is working for). In related news, I officially got my work visa in the mail today from the NZ embassy so it is truly official! HOORAY!!!
