I now feel like a true expat...this week I received my first care package! When I was packing to move to Malaga, I was weary of bringing two large rolling suitcases because I was going to be in a new city, and I was going to be by myself; so to make things easier, I only brought one bag. For most people, this would have been plenty of room for clothes. But for me, a perpetual "over-packer," I barely made it a month wearing those clothes ;)
After days about an hour of agonizing over what to bring, and what could wait, I packed a suitcase of clothes to bring with me, a suitcase of heavy winter clothes for my family to bring when they come visit me, and a box of clothes for my Mom to mail to me when I got settled into my apartment.
I knew that my Mom was mailing me some clothes, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that she had secretly packed some goodies into my box.
Please note that hair products definitely count as goodies :)
Thanks Mom!!!
That is an interesting combination of goodies. Your mom did pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Mom!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping my mom will send me a package, but if I don't get things on time, I found this shop in Paris that has a ton of American goodies :)
