So no hygiene items correct? Just everything I listed? I didnt forget anything?

I would bring a toothbrush and just travel size deodorant and such..they only cost about $0.50 each..snag the hotel soap if you want, mostly it will come home in the box. Remember to put them in a zip lock baggie!

Ok so buy travel sized shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant? I'll do that

And I guess I'll just bring along my own toothbrush

Sue,
I believe they will make him throw it away... They don't want these kids to have this stuff since they could hide drugs in them....

But, like you said, the worst case is he ships them back....

Several people have taken their cell phones with them... Great for calling between flights and when you land - just in case you don't get that I am here call from GL... You can send it home in the box.

Your wife can mail you more stamps and phone cards about mid way through if needed or if you see you are getting low on them. Some cards have a phone # on the back where she can copy and call later to add minutes to the card you have.

Have her send you a pre stamped manila envelope about mid way through so you can send letters and postcards that you have received back home to save.

What I don't get (sorry for thread jacking chris! lol) is why we need to bring our original birth certs, and ssc when we brought them to MEPs the first time around. Why the heck would we need to bring all of it again to MEPs when we ship out? Idk, I haven't figured this one out. Especially being it's a pain in the living a-hole to get my birth cert (I was born outta country) from Washington, it took close to six months to get it the first time around! lol
