I love mail!

Today was an awesome mail day! First we received our travel packet from our agency. I'm shocked and impressed by how much information this packet contains.


Reading through it, I started feeling overwhelmed at how many decisions have to be made before we travel. I had to remind myself - one step at a time! One step at a time!


Then we received our Zulily order, which contained two pairs of shorts for our daughter. It was really hard to find shorts that were modest!


I was so amused at how our order came in two packages and they were two different shades of blue. One was delivered by OnTrack and the other by USPS. Efficiency? Not really!


We bought both of these tops at Macy's yesterday, both on clearance. I'm a bit worried they will be too big for our girly, but at least they are light material and will work well with the Taiwan heat.



We bought this cute purple suitcase a couple years ago when we made some really short trips. Hopefully she likes it because it's now hers!


Though to be honest, I'm wondering if we will even need a separate suitcase for our daughter. Her clothes are so small they seem like they will fit in our suitcase!


But, the airline gives us two free checked bags each and we're only taking one suitcase for the both of us and one for her. She'll probably like having something of her own to travel with. We also ordered her a backpack as a carry on. It won't ship for another two weeks though. I can't wait until it gets here!

Is it the end of July yet?

Take the extra bag not only will her things take up more space than you expect, but in my experience kids love having ownership of their own things. It will also give you space if you decide to go souvenir shopping in Taiwan.

We fly frequently with our daughter and she has always loved wheeling her own pretty suitcase through the airport and taking charge of packing and unpacking it herself. I know what you mean about finding modest girls' clothes, we are lucky that ours is still at the age that we can buy shorts off the boys rack.

There might be things there that she loves, food, or even decor for her room that it would be difficult to get stateside, you could bring some back with you. Old navy sells uniform shorts that are modest. Good quality khaki.or navy blue. Things are really progressing now!;)

Annnd you might find souvenirs that you want to bring back OR things which she might own and wants to bring. Or gifts she receives from her caretakers or something. Her own suitcase sounds like a FINE idea!
