This may be a strange picture to many of you, but it was not easy to get our luggage to be the right weight. We brought our suitcases to these scales many times during the day to get it exactly right. Here's a funny story- one of the sisters saw me weighing a few things on the scale, like lotion, shampoo, hair dryer - just small items. She said "What are you doing? They aren't going to weigh that." I wasn't sure what to say, because if it's in my suitcase, they are going to weigh it. We aren't on the same flight as she is, but my guess is, she's going to be in for a big surprise when she gets to the airport. The fines are pretty high too - $150 for over 50 lbs and $300 for over 70 lbs. They don't mess around when you are flying international. So we're very happy to have all of ours just under the 50 lb weight limit. We worked on it almost all day yesterday getting ready. We did ship two boxes, which helped us make it under the weight limit.

Deen's daughter has a friend who works in the shipping business, so she is helping us. We're hoping that will give us a better chance of us actually getting our stuff. We'll see

So we leave in 2 hours. We're excited but also a little nervous. We've sure had a great experience here in the MTC.
