Well thus far I have packed up many of my valuables so that they do not get destroyed during my stay on the island. I have also packed my school supplies in big boxes (to be shipped). I plan on putting my daughter's toys on top of the books and supplies. I cannot even imagine that I will need all of these school supplies but I am trying to adopt the "better safe than sorry" attitude. I spent the majority of the morning wrapping up pictures in newspaper and packing stemware that I know my husband won't need when I am gone. Last week I packed away my pottery.

I got my school supply and book list from Saba University but I also got a list of "things you may want to take to the island" from another "Island" University website. I found helpful. Also ValueMD.com is a great website for all IMGs! Many students post ultra-comprehensive lists of things to bring, some things make me giggle, but overall it is helpful if you don't let their lists panic you into packing a 20ft container of supplies.

Back to packing and photographing this insanity in my house!!
