What a good day today. Woke up, drove to Starbucks for my last cinnamon dolce iced latte for a while and timed things positively beautifully...their computers were down, so therefore my coffee was free :-)
Managed to get all of my boxes moved to my grandmother's house, so all I have to do now is vacuum my apartment and pack my suitcase and carry-on.
In an effort to be able to take some larger bulky stuff with me, I bought some vacuum sealed space saver bags. I keep having dreams that the bags explode and refill with air and I arrive in Korea with nothing. Hopefully this does not happen. But the fact that I'll arrive in Korea with my comforter (bed spread), my favorite winter coat, and my 600 thread count egyptian cotton sheets will hopefully make these space save bags worth it!
Anyways, this will be the last entry until I get internet set up in Korea, but I will update you all as soon as I can!

Goodbye Dan, Hello Over-sized Suitcase!
Today I said goodbye for 10 months to my best friend Dan. I don't leave the states for another week, but he's had a vacation planned to go home to Ohio since before I got my leave date for Korea. But with any luck, Dan will come visit me in Korea next April. Before I took him to the airport, we did some of our favorite things: lunch at Sheetz, window shopping for appliances and electronics, and of course reminiscing about some of our favorite memories -- errrr! table (long story, has to do with a toothless man in a montana bar).
After I dropped Dan off at the airport, I stopped at Ross and found a super-huge samsonite spinner suitcase for $50 (4 wheels). So I bought it, brought it home and discovered that it is 65 linear inches, 3 over the airline requirement of 62 inches. I wonder if anyone will measure!? I frankly have never seen them with measuring sticks at the luggage check-in counter. I mean its a normal shaped suitcase, so maybe they won't notice it's 3 linear inches too big. God I hope I don't get slapped with an over-sized luggage fee! But then again 7200+ cubic inches of packing space is a beautiful thing. Aside from the slightly over-sized normal suitcase, I plan on bringing an over-sized duffle bag. But from what I read, they don't have size requirements for duffle bags. We'll see I guess.
Also stopped by my parents house today. Picked up a few things, and amazingly found my plug adapters from when I studied abroad in 2006. My parents house has a way of swallowing things, it's the reason I went to Ross in the first place. The basement swallowed my old roller duffle bag shaped suitcase.
Okay, time to brew a pot of vinegar, my lack of attention managed to mold the coffee pot.
