In my last post I told you about the things that I was sad I had forgotten to pack. So on a opposite side of that there are some things that I was smart enough to remember. Most of these were probably things that we picked up in other blogs or from friends so I can't take a lot of credit. No matter who had the good idea originally - we have these things and I'm happy.
- recipe box with our favourites
- measuring cups - because our favourite recipes require US measurements and not UK measurements
- kitchen knives - make sure you pack these in your checked lugggage - TSA tends to frown upon blades
- potato peeler - probably not a necessity but it's small and i like mine
- wool socks - can I just say that the people at SmartWool are amazing?!?!? and if you see any on sale let me know so that I can get our families to stock up
- blankets - because it is COLD here and having your favourite blanket is really nice
- games/cards - we packed Monopoly Deal (thanks Megan & Jimmy), a cribbage board and a couple decks of cards.
- screwdrivers - we bought a couple of storage things when we first moved in and these came in really handy
- wedding album - because it's pretty
- dvds - we put ours in a travel case so that the dvd cases didn't take up a ton of room in our bags
- lots of gloves - my hands freeze all the time - i think i have a pair in every coat and bag that i own
- world adapter kits for our apple products - gotta love mom's discount!
- NorthFace Gortex hiking boots - we both have these and wear them a ton - actually - it's probably time for me to get a new pair - luckily there's a NF store in town.
- wellies! i was going to wait until i got here to buy some but i needed them almost as soon as i stepped off the plane - plus i got a really good deal on them - bonus!
- Marmot rain jackets and pants
Once again, I'm sure I'm forgetting something so I'll amend this list as needed.
Love you & miss you!
Aubs, Luke & Luther
