The Mad Dash

Today is a blur. Our apartment looks like a category 5 hurricane just come through. Suitcases, boxes, bags, oh my! After a concerted effort to sell a large portion of our things we still had way too much stuff. I donated 2 boxes of books to our school's library after selling only about half to other students. We also donated about 5 bags of clothes, some baby toys, and, alas, the Cadillac of Baby Swings as blogged about here. The good news is that the donated items are going to a local orphanage so its a win-win. We don't have to charter an ocean liner to bring everything back and someone will put our stuff to good use.

Tonight the packing continues and we will box up some things that wont fit in our luggage and ship it back via our friendly neighborhood cargo company. At the rates they are charging us it may have been cheaper to buy an additional seat on the plane and belt our junk in.

Hopefully we will get everything here pretty much squared away tonight and tomorrow we can try to squeeze in a beach day and let Rileigh have her first dip in the Caribbean (before she most likely sees her first snow in 3 days).
