Leaving for India in about 7 days! (week from tomorrow!)

Wow, not too much longer. We have purchased some items to bring to family and that we need for the trip, but we still need to buy more necessities to take along for Kavi.

I am a bit stressed thinking about the long plane ride with Kavi and having him on our laps. We will go from Tampa to Newark, NJ, about 2 1/2 hours flight. And then from Newark straight to Mumbai International Airport, India! That plane ride is going to be around 14 hours. I am praying Kavi will sleep a lot, but when he is excited he won't sleep very easily. He will surely be wondering what is going on, what are we sitting in, and who is everyone sitting around us in the plane. haha. I just hope after a couple hours, the excitement will wear off and he will sleep. Our flight leaves Newark at night so it will be our overnight hours while going to India.

We should probably start packing this weekend, to see how much room the things we are bringing with us take up. We have two large suitcases to use, and carry on bags. Even though we are both allowed to take two suitcases, I think it's better if we limit our luggage. When we arrive in India, it will be a lot to drag around with Kavi in a stroller too. We are planning on taking a small umbrella stroller so we don't have to carry Kavi through all the different security, immigration, and customs lines we will have to go through. This is so exciting!! And also nerve wracking! :)
