Because this is going to be one of the only contracts where I\u2019m actually going to have to ship ahead. I\u2019m hoping that doesn\u2019t give me too much trouble at customs since I will have to check an extra box on the form.<\/p>\n<p>But there simply isn\u2019t enough space in my suitcase for Amras\u2019 and my Playstation. It\u2019s too heavy and too big this time around. So, to Office Depot I will go just before my flight, to have it boxed up and shipped out ahead of me. Thankfully used electronics don\u2019t require a great deal of insurance. With any luck the shipping costs are going to be less than the cost of the overage bags would have been! And hey, right now every little bit counts.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I am definitely counting days. Heck, I\u2019m counting hours! This contract has been\u2026definitely challenging at points. That said, it\u2019s had it\u2019s highlights too: swimming with sea turtles, snorkeling over a shipwreck, shopping for wedding rings (yeah we did that\u2026although I still haven\u2019t found one), and actually making it to the top of an ancient Mayan pyramid.<\/p>\n<p>Yup, it\u2019s definitely had its high points.<\/p>\n<p>But I most definitely am looking forward to being home. After all, there is a rather big adventure around my next corner\u2026and that adventure is still taking up a rather large portion of my planning brain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time again.
