Monday, November 11, 2013, we left Mesa, AZ to start our adventure! Susan and Wayne came to drive us to the airport (Susan) and take our Corolla home (Wayne). Susan figured out how to get all the stuff we wanted to take into our luggage.
She managed to combine five carry-ons into four so we did not have to pay for more than the planned-for four suitcases! Obviously we did not fly to Salt Lake City on Southwest Airlines!
Of course, now we are going through our luggage trying to get rid of things we can get in Chile! I think the two sets of sheets may go even if they are on the list. My tennis shoes are on the leave behind list too. I figure we just won't be needing them enough to justify the weight.
When we got to our daughter Kathy's home, we were greeted by a sign from Kaylee (age 6) and Kierra (age 4). It read "We love you Hermana y Hermano Stott." We will be here until Friday when we fly to Colorado to celebrate with Jake Smith, Karen's son when he is baptized into the Church. Then we return here on Saturday night and report to the Mission Training Center in Provo, UT on Sunday evening for 5 days of training for our mission to Chile. Then back to Kathy's for the weekend and off to Chile on Monday. Busy times!!
