Preparing for Return

D day approaches for our return home in Brazil but before we leave there are several things we have been asked to pick up for friends. The list is below.

1. Screen protector for ipad
2. HDMI Connectors
3. 3 bottles of perfume
4. Lanolin cream for a breastfeeding friend of a friend (that conversation was interesting... )
5. Two kindles
6. Maple syrup extract
7. Wireless keyboard

Random huh? For the most part we bring back whatever is asked of us but sometimes it's just impossible. This time around the bags are stuffed full of baby stuff and we are even leaving our stroller in the box to make things easier.

Since Nate and I rarely ever fly together we are taking different flights on different airlines on the same night. Turns out that no matter how many miles you acquire, only round trip flights can be booked. I think that's a crock of &*%$! Did you know that a flight from Houston to Moscow Russia is only USD $800 while you pay double that for a round trip to Rio. Sorry I am getting off topic!

Overall I am ready to return to my own bed and house. I wish that I could drag my family and friends along but let's be realistic. I just hope that my friends really do visit us this year for some fun in the sun.

Tchau,
Sara

  1. Sara,

    Lanolin is widely available in Brazil and it is called LANOLINA, just add an A to the end of the word.
    It is a sort of oil extracted from sheep's wool.

  2. Ha- well that's weird because a Brazilian asked me for it... maybe it's super expensive or Macae don't have it like most things! Either way it's packed and ready to go :)

  3. I hear you. I have had my sister ask me for things that are a little cheaper over here and then I tell here why is she asking me this or that and I end up find out is to save her a couple bucks... :)
