Our plane leaves on Jan 2nd but I don’t want to be packing the day before we leave and with Christmas I would rather be done a little early before we hop around houses :). So December 20th is my goal to have all my stuff packed up and in a neat pile ready to go!

How I did it: Filled out the application online and printed it out. I did mine though the mail because I was not able to travel to Houston (the nearest office to me). Read how I did it…
How I did it: Just logged on to freecycle.com and set up an account ....keeps wanting me to write a bit more but what else is there to say...kinda common sense..................... ;) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I put some of my stuff in garage sales when my Mother-in-law had one and when had one to raise money for mine & Jodie's Jazzercise Workshop. Moving is helping a lot of with this goal. Things that I dont have to have are staying at the old place for one more big garage sale. Then what isn't sold will go on freecycle or Salvation Army. Read how I did it…

Plane leaves Dallas on January 2nd…goes to Chicago then over to Delhi then to Chennai. The flight from Chicago to Delhi is 15 hours!! I have NEVER been on a plane before….well actually I did fly from Dallas to Austin when I was 6 months old…but I don’t think that counts ;-)
I am REALLY nervous about the flight…I always said I would never get on a plane unless I was going to New York but since we don’t have time to take a boat I will have to fly to get to India.
I KNOW the experience of India is going to be worth sucking up the fears I have always had about flying. My husband says I am going to love it once we get up and I get the first flight over with. I Sure as hell hope so, but I’m not to confidant….Especially since I have a window seat (which Joe swears is a really good thing).
All I DO know is that James (friend going with me and sitting next to me every flight) will be passing me a lot of drinks!!!!!
