It's Looking Great

I wish our plans to visit the Philippines in August will really push through. I've been dying to see my parents and the rest of my family. The plan to visit was temporarily sidetracked due to some changes in our family situations which I don't want to elaborate on anymore. But the chances are looking great, so I started to search for cheap flights online and to shop for goodies that I am sending through shipping boxes. That way my luggages will only contain our clothes and personal effects. I will be flying with my little tot ahead of hb so I want the flight to be as convenient as possible. Then hb will follow to stay for only a week or two and we will all fly back to US together. Shipping boxes ahead of the trip is the most practical and convenient way of sending goodies. I need to calculate the best time to send them though to make sure they will arrive ahead of me or while I'm still there.
