We gave in and finally realized that we need all 10 bags that we are allowed for five people but probably will not reach the 500 lb limit! It was a question of whether or not to bring the Wii and the more we hear about the winter smog the more it seems to make sense to bring it.
Elisa summed it up last night as I was putting her to bed "Mamá, are we ever going to do anything else but pack?" Just wait my dear.......
Jean McManus has willingly agreed to shlep us and the 10 bags up to Notre Dame to catch the bus to O'Hare and there our travels will begin. We will be staying at an "Aparthotel" until we find an apartment which hopefully will happen the first week or two - http://www.apartsuite.cl/home_en.html. It is pretty centrally located within a few Metro stops of where we hope to land and is just one bus ride away from their school which they start on Monday.
First steps will be visiting three different bureaucracies in three different areas of the city to try and get "official" so that we can buy a car and send the kids to school (http://www.institutohebreo.cl/). I have survived the lines in Israel and other places without my Kindle but have never survived them with three cranky kids in tow. That will be the first challenge. More from the other side.
Chau!
Oops - did I mention that our basement flooded today? Never a dull moment!
