11 days

We are in countdown mode. Only 11 days until the kids and I leave for our home leave back to the United States. It honestly seems like yesterday that we got off the plane wide-eyed and with no idea what we were getting ourselves into. And now, almost 5 months later, we are going "home" for almost 8 weeks.

The next 11 days will be swamped with end of the school year activities, packing, making lists, parties and spending time with new friends. (It will be a great time to burn fat with all we have to get done) I am sure before we know it, the kids and I will be sitting in the taxi heading to the airport for our long adventure back to North Carolina.
