Ecuador in five days

I wasn't going to post anything about Ecuador until I got there. I can't help it - too excited. Five days to go and everything is lined up there. I just need to pack. 

Taking a convertible backpack (turns into a wheelless suitcase)  and a regular backpack. So those will be fun moving around. 

Before leaving I still need to (so this is me mumbling to myself so I remember)

• let my credit card company know I'm going abroad
• figure out how to use Verizon abroad
• get mo money out 
• pack
• grade and submit grades
• buy some essentials (toothpaste, pepto, etc)
• answer as many emails as possible
• get student passport data to public safety (they don't know they're getting it - but that's going to one of the policies I start as study abroad director)
• would be good to transplant my persimmon and milkweed seedlings to their own pots 
• I'll have to edit this later - no doubt I'm forgetting things :)
