Leaving with everything (I hope)

Here we are, about to head off the the airport and I can't think of anything that we forgot, but am pretty certain we forgot something.

The one thing pulling us through is the thought of seeing our little girl in a couple of days.

[Mee here:]
Or coming back mid-trip so that Zac can do his duty as a responsible citizen and show up for jury duty. Yep. Got the notice yesterday. Great timing, that. Don't worry though. We got it postponed, though not without suffering a few conniptions.

We're off now with three huge bags and two carry-ons. What? You try packing for a month and all contingencies. Besides, I NEED four lip glosses. What if I run out and they don't have lip gloss in Kazakhstan? Tragedy! Anyway, if Chloe doesn't see that her old mom made an effort for her, she might not want to come home with us. Paka paka, Americanskis. Next time we write, it'll be in Russian (and probably a few days from now.) Don't have too many wild parties while we're gone.
