New stuff!
Check out my new melamine dishes - I am very excited about them! They are part of my plan to buy and travel with the right stuff. When I left the DR, I found myself spending too long trying to decide which serving dishes and other kitchen stuff should come with us to VA and then to post. Weight was a big issue, but I also wanted my own things. I really find that having my own, brightly colored dishes makes a new place feel like home more quickly, so from now on, I'll send these items in my UAB (unaccompanied air baggage- the shipment that gets to post first) without having to worry about the weight and without having to think about it. Fun and easy!

Awesome idea. I have an extra set of white everyday dishes that I send ahead - I don't care what happens to them - but they're heavy! I might steal this idea.
I like having my "stuff" too. Why did I sign up for this life? (Love the dishes/ great idea.)
Hi I was wondering if you are willing to email with me? I have a few questions about the FS and read on some site that your blog is a good one with a mid-career change. Was hoping you wouldn't mind answering a couple questions? I would be so grateful! We lived in China in 2010, you're going to have an incredible time!!
Thank you!
