The Shipment Has Arrived!

Yesterday, I was sent on a mission to a freight logistics company in Prague near the airport to retrieve our boxes that were picked up from our house in Phoenix on 28 December. That means it took two full months to get the boxes here. You might ask yourself, is anything worth shipping halfway across the world if you don't get it for two months? We asked that to ourselves daily, especially as Geo spent lots of hours on the phone and sending lots of emails to track down these late boxes. Our boxes were full of extra clothes, and a few comfort things (like our favorite hygiene products, etc), but another student sent his laptop through this shipment, so he's been in severe pain since we arrived, not really being able to keep up with his schoolwork and all. Anyway, Heidi (bless her!) came with me in the van from the CMC, with the driver who doesn't speak English, but understands enough to get the job done and speaks to us constantly in Czech...it took over an hour to get there and then we had to wait for a half hour or so for the paperwork that Geo spent 9 hours working on the day before to arrive. Finally, we got the boxes forklifted into the back of the van and we were off! The plan was to drop me and Heidi off in Prague so we could do some errands there and the driver would take the van with the boxes back to the CMC and Geo and John (the student with the laptop) would unload it. The plan seemed to work out, because when Heidi and I got back a few hours later, the boxes were unloaded in our room and my stuff was thrown all over the place (they had been looking for John's laptop, which I guess got packed in one of our boxes instead of his).
So now I have all my warm things (fleeces, long underwear, snow boots, etc) as well as some stuff to work out with (swim cap and goggles and a big towel) and the best: our pillows from home. I had forgotten about those! Now the question is: what are we going to do with all this stuff when it is time to leave? Obviously, anything for the cold weather can go back in a box, but I think we'll still have a lot of stuff to lug around. If only we knew where the next stop on our tour is going to be for sure...
