Second Trip Booked

So not that this has anything to do with the trip I'm about to leave on, but I finally just booked my second trip of the summer. On Sunday, July 28th I will fly out to Prague (through Toronto and Frankfurt) and will return from Krakow (through Dusseldorf and Chicago) on August 4th.

As for the current trip, here's a list of general thoughts/updates:

1) There is apparently a need for lice shampoo (I know, my favorite) in the gypsy community we'll be working in. I went to buy some and it is outrageously priced ($10 for a tiny bottle). Now of course I had no problem buying out the whole stock that Wal-Mart had on their shelves but still... kinda ridiculous.

2) I was going to bring my viola to play some music in Severin and the surrounding areas (I played the violin there last time) but I just realized we won't be in that area for the weekend when all the groups/people perform. That's a bummer. Still deciding if I'll end up taking it or not.

3) I need to start packing now. I tend to get a little anxious on trips like these because I always stack stuff up in my office and then don't ever know how everything will fit and what other stuff I might have room for. I'm going to try to get mostly packed up on Tuesday (later today since I'm posting this in the middle of the night) and then run final errands on Wednesday.

4) I have like a million soccer balls coming in the mail I think. I ordered some stuff online and it was shipped in two separate packages which I didn't realize at the time. So, thinking "hmmm... that's weird that I didn't order soccer balls...." I bought some more and then got the original shipment like the next day. Whoops!

I think that's it for now. Not much new to add since most of y'all that read this know the drill (if not, see any of my past blogs.... http://julieinromania2012.blogspot.com/, http://julieinkenya2011.blogspot.com/, http://julieinromania2009.blogspot.com/, http://www.julieineurope2008.blogspot.com/ and yes, I know the trend with the link names; can't remember them otherwise!).
