Hello World!

Tomorrow, I am taking a big step. After having knee surgery in January and before I go back to work, we have decided to take a trip to Switzerland where some friends live. I am very excited to see them and their new baby! I am however a little nervous about the sitting there for so long (on the plane) so I have already asked to have the prescriptions refilled for pain and leg cramps. That’s totally a NTBW post though.

Right now, I have booked our tickets part way and already know where we are staying so I am pretty excited. Tonight I will probably pack and tomorrow gather some snacks for the youngest member of our travel party.

TIP: You are allowed to bring unopened milk and juices for your young children through security. I personally like these organic milks that I get from Kroger. They do not need to be refrigerated until they are opened although they never last that long! Be sure to bring sugar free cookies and Lunchables are a great idea also, especially for such a long flight.

Of course I will NOT be checking any luggage. I will let you know what I am bringing once I figure that out.

The usual is: 1 dress (wearing on the plane), 1 pair of pants (that don’t wrinkle), a couple of different shirts (long sleeve/short sleeve), socks and underwear and a comfy pair of interchangeable shoes. NOTE: since it’s winter, I will probably bring a vest and my boots also.

More on that later….
