Travel Plans

Hola,
     It's been awhile since I've posted.  Sorry about that.  It's just that there is nothing about which to write.

Behold!  I have received some very exciting news...

I now know of my travel plans and when I will leave.  I thought that was some information worth sharing.
OK.  Here it is:

Carrier Name	Carrier No.	DEPARTURE			ARRIVAL
		Location	Date	Time	Location	Date	Time
Swiss International Air Lines	15	JFK - New York - John F. Kennedy, NY	1-September-11	8:55 PM	ZRH - Zürich - Kloten	2-September-11	10:50 AM
Swiss International Air Lines	2026	ZRH - Zürich - Kloten	2-September-11	12:25 PM	MAD - Madrid - Barajas	2-September-11	2:45 PM

So here's the plan.
Fly from Milwaukee to JFK
I need to be in New York no later than 4:00 PM on August 31,2011.
Then I need to be at the Double Tree Hotel for Orientation

The next day I will fly out from JFK to Zurich, Switzerland
We have about a 1.5hr layover.
Then I will bored the plane to Madrid and land around 3:00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the itinerary so far.  Now I am also starting to think about what I need to pack.

Get this:

Baggage Allowance:

1 CARRY-ON, NOT TO EXCEED 8 INCHES x 16 INCHES x 21 INCHES; UP TO 22 POUNDS

1 CHECKED UP TO 44 POUNDS

AFS has stricter luggage regulations than some airlines. These regulations reflect the stricter baggage allowances provided by airlines within your host country. AFS assumes no responsibility for excess or oversize baggage fees.

ONLY ONE CHECKED BAG! ONLY about 44 POUNDS!  

But, everyone says you buy a lot and they wish they would have packed less?  IDK and IDC!

I just want to take all my shoes.  [That's not going to happen though]

Another Thought: 

I will need to take some thank you gifts and other trinkets from Wisconsin over there.  (You never know when you'll need to write a thank you note!!)  [My mother has trained me well]  

Hopefully I'll get the chance to make thanksgiving dinner? Who knows.  

I only have about 2 months and 18 days left.  I'm getting crunched for time! I still need to get all my transcripts and visa stuff done! aaaaaaaahhhhh
