Our Progress

Progress is being made with packing. We've packed up 2 large suitcases, two small suitcases, and 3 footlockers so far. It looks like we'll end up checking 6 footlockers and 3 large suitcases while carrying on 3 small suitcases and 3 personal bags when we move overseas. The fact that Ava will have her own ticket and seat (therefore, her own allotment of baggage to check and to carry on) is an advantage. So, 15 bags total.

We're making some slow progress with selling our furniture. We've gotten rid of our china hutch, a dresser  two dressers now! - and two night tables. Some other things have been spoken for but are still in our house. We need to sell Ava's crib and stroller/travel system. There are still some things that we've yet to post on Craigslist.

Progress. That's all.

Restaurant Cards for Celiacs

I found this website where you can print a restaurant card in a language of the country that you're visiting. Here is what the website says:

"These Celiac Travel-dot-com gluten free restaurant cards are for you to print out and take with you when you dine out at a restaurant, either at home or abroad. The great thing about being able to print your own is you can give them to the waiter or waitress to take to the kitchen. The most common problem with getting gluten free food when dining in restaurants is that your message gets lost or corrupted on its way to the kitchen. "

Very handy. The address is celiactravel-dot-com. Pass it along.
