I have started preparing my checklist for our trip to our home country next month.  It is a pretty daunting task to prepare for this trip because it will be the first time that I’ll be traveling with my two kids.  So far, I have booked and paid for the tickets, which by the way does not include travel health insurance.  The travel agent I spoke with asked me if I wanted to consider getting one but we never did in the past, so I guess we’ll keep it that way.  The next thing to do is to shop for the gifts and personal stuff we need to bring home and the rest are all the nitty-gritty stuff like sorting and packing.  But despite the busyness this trip brings, I’m uber excited to be home again!
