in the process of packing, and realizing that this will be the first time sincei was about 8 that i will be wearing pants in yerushalayim. how very weird. also realizing that when an entire family is going (and each of us cantake 2 suitcases) the entire community does its bst to fill our suitcases with toys, medications, books, clothes, and other such things for friends and family they have stationed in israel. the best is the packages that have been arriving every day for two weeks at our house - video tapes, a hair iron, a can of spray (?), cereal... people are insane.
and i'm realizing that one suitcase may not suffice to hold clothes for 2.5 weekss, seeing as i can't do laundry and i have 3 shabbatot to get through, including 2 bar mitzvas, and 2 nights to celebrate grandma's 80th birthday. i need a lot of stuff! off to see how small i can squish things...
