Day Zero: Packing. As we travel first from one possible private housing to the next before ending up in hotels we can pack light, washers and dryers should be around the first two weeks. And - heaven, yes! - the US$ is sooo low (remind me of that later), we can actually consider going SHOPPING! For back-to-school-stuff or so. So we take one empty suitcase and stuff it with a full one. The fullest as ist turns out. SHE takes the whole bathroom with her (remember, SHE is 15), pretending she can't live without that thing, that straightens her hair. No check on HIS bag. Thats embarassing for a 13year-old. It looks quite empty. Boys don't need anything, they can go with one T-Shirt for three weeks. And No3? Doing fine (better check those, ME didn't....).
Its saturday and we will take advantage of the Swiss Check-in the night before. That'll make things on the actual travel day much easier. So we do: take the car, drive to the airport, check in the suitcases, go home. Set the alarm early for last minute things (cleaning up a little, emptying dishwasher, garbage, plants - the whole programm, no problem, plan two hours and you'll have enough time for a coffe too...). Sleep, America, we're coming!
TIPP: Keep travel documents in one separate pouch that you never let go of. Spares searching time!
