greetings from new jersey

still trapped in jersey because of snow at heathrow. the packing is complete. (except for the fact that i can't fit the hiking boots and the accordion) my dad just brought me strapping tape so i can properly bind my 50 pound box. the other 3 bags are self-contained. i'm a little nervous never having travelled with 4 50 pound bags, but andrea assures me that there are free wheely carts as soon as you land in entebbe. i hope so. i'm bored, so i'm going to cook something...then eat it. hobby number one...check. hobby number two...check.
