Let the packing (and shopping!) begin


Brian is leaving in just 10 days now, so we've started to get things together and already packed one suitcase. While I worked today, Brian went and shopped for snacks. Although we know there will be many wonderful things to eat in India, it will be a bit of a shocker for our American palates. I want to make sure we have a little taste of home with some of our favorite snacks. There are also a few things that we might just cry if we didn't get to eat for a month-for me it's Fiber One bars and for Brian it's Wheat Thins.

With the advice of some of Brian's coworkers and some online research, we stocked up on things like granola bars, oatmeal, cookies, crackers, tuna, nuts, peanut butter and some candy. Yuuummmm.

Brian set aside enough for the week he'll be in India before I arrive and a few snacks for his carry on. The rest went into a suitcase that I'll be checking with the airline. It weighs just under 40 pounds so we might find a few more snacks to stuff in there.

We also got a few hygiene items that we are particular about- deodorant, body wash, etc. that also went into the suitcase.
