We're outa here! (probably)

Thursday morning I came into work to find a charge number in my email! Of course, my boss is on travel, so it took until Friday to send off the travel authorization. Friday afternoon I got in touch with the person in our global mobility department who is working on my file. I said that I wanted to book my flight for Friday the 6th, and she didn't see any problem with that. I have one more person to talk to on Monday, and then I can turn in my travel request.

Also, it looks like Amanda may have found a place for us to live. From the online description, it looks like the perfect fit. We are having a friend at the AMRC go over on Tuesday to check it out and take pictures. I don't think it will stay on the market for long, so we may go ahead and put a deposit on it sight unseen.

We get to ship 1000 pounds of personal belongings, so now we are trying to figure out what to take and what to leave. We also get an excess baggage allowance. Amanda has started packing and figures that we will need yet another suitcase. Wouldn't it be cool if all we took was the absolute minimum that we needed. Live simply for 10 months, like a modern Thoreau. Just clothes. Clothes and my Xbox. O.K. clothes, my Xbox, and the computer. Clothes, Xbox, computer, dvds and all the other toys that I own. I'm so domesticated.
