Yep, today is day zero in the countdown to leaving for Brazil for the holidays. Am I packed and ready? you ask. Why not entirely. The bag of Christmas loot did finally zip, it was touch and go there for a moment. And praise the Lord in heaven, it weighs only 70 pounds. (For thoose of you who have not traveled internationally, that is the upper weight limit on bags.) I am wrestling with my sundry items and finding a location for them in the limited space I have left. Fortunately all my clothes fit into my captain's bag that will serve as one of my carry ons. (I refuse to put my clothes in a regular suitcase to be checked since my bags were lost once. okay, maybe I will put some of my clothes ina check bag but I will always carry at leat 2 outfits in a carry on.) Yes I am wierd, I know, that is what makes me - me. I am learnign to embrase my nerdiness and the weird that I am.
Back to leaving today. My flight leaves at 7 something this evening and I will arrive in Brazil 10 something in the morning local time. Brazil is 3 hours ahead of us in time so that will be 7 something in the morning. It is a red eye flight so I will probably sleep most of the way. Thank the Lord for being able to sleep on a plane.
As I go, I want any of you whoare reading this to know, I am praying for your holiday to be a wonderful holiday filled with the Lord's most gracious blessing. May he protect you and guide you this holiday season and throughout the year.
God speed to you all and His mercy upon you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
