Finally I had time to spend getting almost everything booked for our extra summer travel. I schedule a time for our travel agent to “send her lady”, to deliver tickets/receipts, and get paid.

I found time today to plan more on what to take to DFW when we attend Courtney’s UTA graduation. We have a “two checked bags” allotment on our flights, and don’t want to waste it. We’ll “pack out” on June 17. Everything we ship will arrive in Fort Worth around Sept. 1. I’m trying to anticipate what might be needed in the 6 weeks between our arrival on July 14, and the arrival of the shipping on Sept. 1. We’ll be carrying clothes for our Cambodia/Thailand trip and then our cruise, squeezed in between several days each in Barcelona and Athens. What kind of clothes might we need? Professional wear? What insurance paperwork etc., might we need? We can’t carry 4 or 5 suitcases each this summer. Some of it has to go to Texas now, but only stuff we won’t need here in Beijing. This isn’t easy!

Judy calls to let me know the tailor is coming tonight. It’s going to be fun to check out the finished product on our new Chinese style jackets. They turn out great. My jacket fits like a glove, as does the shirt. Judy’s clothes look great. This beats the heck out of driving to a store and changing in and out of clothes. I don’t if we’ll be able to find a traveling tailor. It’s kinda like our ayi, we better enjoy it while we’re here.
