Luggage, luggage, and more luggage


Well, it's still hard to comprehend but the time is finally here! We have brought ourselves and our rented Ford (Found On Roadside Dead) Expedition to Ted and Chan's house to spend the night. Chan prepared an out of this world Laotian style meal for us, which we enjoyed in the company of Seng's brother, fiance, and precious niece Miah (who is in the picture)! As you can see and as described in a previous post, we have quite a bit of luggage to take with us!!! International travel standards allow each person to take two "free" checked bags up to 50lbs. Believe us when we say we are maximizing our allowances. All of this, including the bags are going to the people of Laos and our personal belonging will be in carry ons. We are excited about the prospect of having only one small bag! Good night to all. Our flight leaves at 0845.
