Packing for Texas

Posted by carolinakioty on June 16, 2008

Oh my goodness!  How many clothes does one teenage girl need for 5 days?!?!?!  We are trying to get her packed for her HOSA Nationals at Dallas Texas.  The airport has weight restrictions on luggage and linear inches for the suitcase.  Since when does it take calculus and a calculator to get on an airplane?  She has to have clothes for opening, closing, and educational sessions, presentation and the fair.  Then she has to have clothes for Six Flags, the JFK Tour and assorted mall trips and the pool.  She needs dress shoes, tennis shoes and flip flops.  Jewelry for dress up, dress down and everyday.  A camera, batteries and film. (she is not getting my digital) plus glasses, contacts, solution and an assortment of female stuff that every girl needs.  Whew.  She has to save room for the return flight home.  She will get stuff there too, I mean hello last time she came home from state regionals and they gave everyone a huge tote bag full of stuff.  One suitcase, one carry on and one purse will it be enough?

We have to be up at 4:30am  at the school by 5 they are riding out at 5:30am.  For those who wanna know she will be on flight AA615 out of RDU to DFW.  She is not the most confident flyer so keep her in your prayers.  Prayers for her parents nerves are appreciated as well. 

 Her team does their presentation on Thursday. Her 16th Birthday is Friday the 20th. Caitlin has unlimited txt-ing on her phone now. If she calls or answers her phone it is .69 cents a minute so text her instead! Its Free! Call me to get her number.
