Hi Carrie!
When you worked for America West didn't you go through haz.mat training? Shipping a little propane bottles at 35,000 feet...ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!! That reminds me of the guy that swore up and down that he had nothing explosive in his tool box and 2 of the 4 cans of spray paint went off inside the cargo bin, nearly put a hole in the darn thing! Here's what I learned. If you don't use it all the time, don't bother sending it. We have Walmart, Kmart and Costco (albeit 100 miles away) and Macy's. I made the mistake of leaving behind all of my spices which I later regretted because it cost a small fortune to replace all of those. A friend once told me you spend half of your life collecting things and the other half getting rid of them, truer words were never spoken. I'm with the others, cleaning stuff is cheap enough here and readily available. While your at it don't bother bringing more than one or two at the most sets of dress clothes. I GAVE away $200.00+ suites which at the time kinda hurt but now I'm glad I did. Depending on your career choices you won't need pantyhose (THANK GOD!!) or more than a couple pairs of pants (might keep some warmies for those chilly 65 degree winters
Other than that, bring your hubby, mom, pets and toothbrush. Looking forward to you guys getting here. PJ
