Less than 24 hours until liftoff!!!!

Well ladies and gents, with less than 24 hours until lift off I have finally packed everything into my bag and luckily, it all fits with room to spare. However, at this point I don't know whether it’s good or bad that I still have all kinds of room. Either way, at this point this is what I have and thus this is what I'm going with. Tomorrow the plan is to leave the home around 1:00, then I get to deal with airports and airplanes for quite awhile until June 1 when we arrive in Ireland.

As for an update of our overall plans for the next year... we have kind of made a loose plan for the next few months. The most interesting part of this planning phase has been planning on being in certain places so that our friends and relatives who are going to be in the area can find us. Plus it's been a slight struggle to coordinate how we are going to do this because the kids who are already there are on such a different time schedule than us. However, I do think we have figured it out for the most part and I’m sure we'll post it online here once we get it all finalized. I don't have much left to say at this point other than say later boys and girls, have a good year in the USA.
