For those of you who have not heard the story of our 'moving' to Swaziland shipping dilemna extravaganza, be glad. There was way too much drama involved to include it in detail here, but suffice it to say that there is actually no 'moving' to Swaziland...because when one thinks of the term, 'moving,' it typically includes the taking of one's 'personal items' and this has simply not been as easy as one might think (okay, I know there are a few of you who would never think that it would be easy to transport belongings to Africa, but cleary I was holding out on this one). To make a long story short, first there were 17 boxes that were being shipped by freight, and then there were 7 boxes that were beings sent via UPS, and then there were 7 boxes that were actually shipped to Austin, Texas to be carried on as excess baggage, instead. And finally, today, there are 4 boxes that are being carried on as excess baggage, and one hopeful guitar that is counting on the plane not being full so that it can join us in Swaziland, too! Here's to living without the conveniences from home a little sooner than we thought!Our flight leaves at 11:45am morning and we will let you know as soon as we can that we have arrived safely. XO.
