Preparing to Leave: 4 days away
I have a problem. I can only check 44 lbs worth of stuff from Paris to Amman.
It's not an issue of getting stuff to Paris. The economy seat I booked allows me a maximum of two checked bags at a maximum of 50 lbs each. However, once I get to Paris, I am no longer flying "economy", but "student". My guess is that because France is a socialist government, they subsidize the cost of student travel. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to find such cheap air fare - for which I am duly grateful...
Except for the headache it is producing. How on earth will I be able to compress 4 months worth of material belongings into 44 lbs??? Somebody better mail me a fairy; I'm not paying $26 per extra pound!!!
My research assistant discovered that to send the difference (56 lbs) by UPS from Paris to Amman would cost over $2,000. I asked him to try DHL but evil demons shoved sap-covered pine needles down his shirt, which somewhat diverted his attention.
Welcome to my blog! I recently bought my sister a t-shirt that says, "No-one Cares About Your Blog" - mainly an inside joke referring to my
older brother Joe's love of blogging, podcasting, and all things internet-related.
(somewhat similar to this) --------------------------------->
I want you to care about my blog. I plan on posting entries about my life in Jordan, the problems I will run into, the adventures I will have - including photos! - and much, much more. I want you to read, and post often.
I understand that lives are busy, and it's hard to stay in touch with people. This is how you can stay in touch with me, at least until I return to My Country 'Tis of Thee.

You definitely caught my attention with the whole France being socialist bit….you should be grateful your only in that country for a couple of hours or they might tax you to death…have a great trip…I will be checking for updates!
So, I guess it just hit me that you're really leaving, and I won't be here when you return! I'm really gonna miss you! But I've very excited and can see what's happening. Make sure you post much! And if you get bored, you can check up on me too. http://mirandasstories.blogspot.com
Is that all I am to you, a research assistant? How about research specialist? Actually, I think political advisor would be better.
And I don't know about that pine needle thing, I must have missed that.
Bon Voyage!!
hope you have a great time studying in france, and going to jordan
