Getting ready!

We're getting ready for the trip and it's a bit overwhelming!   I think we bought enough to start a small pharmacy and grocery store. We just have to be smart packers!  So far Matt has  heard from "Brigitta" from Texas, "Kurt" from Alabama, "Louisa" originally from Northern California but now from New York, Marta is from Ft. Lauderdale...and there's more to meet!  Last night Matthew's friends gave him a bonvoyage party...we learned that we need a lot of practice with Chopsticks!  Also, people brought a few of " Matt's favorite things".....Kendra (his sister from NC) and her boyfriend Dave  was the biggest surprise plus Macaroni Cheese, Life Is Good back pack full of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups and games, a velvetee soft travel pillow, and a scrap book put together by his sister Janel with family pics in it... just to name a few things!  We're really looking forward to meeting the whole VonTrapp family in just a few days!!!!
