Now, 2 weeks, and 2 months

That's the plan we need to follow for packing up for India...
luggage - All the stuff we need now, for the first two weeks will be in our luggage on the plane
UAB - 700 pounds worth of stuff we'd like to have in the house sooner rather than will hopefully arrive in India in 2 weeks and will hold us over for a few months.
HHE - The stuff we bought (all those rolls of toilet paper and jars of peanut butter) plus the stuff from our house in NJ, will hopefully arrive in around 2 months.

So, these are the thoughts running through my head as I'm mentally pre-packing all of our stuff. Some things are easy - the kids blankets and special toys are definitely coming on the plane with us. Others not so straight forward - for 2 months we'll be in India without all of the lovely things we bought and all of our stuff from the house. So, with a pretty small weight limit, it's not just what becomes essential for those 2 months but how much? A tube of toothpaste sounds good. But how many bottles of sunscreen? People have said to bring coffee...I need my morning cup of joe, so do we actually pack coffee in our luggage? Does needing to pack coffee mean you can't find your Starbucks there (which I don't even go to here) or truly, there is really only tea? That seems pretty ridiculous to me...but equally ridiculous is arriving in our new home and not having coffee after 24 hours of travelling.

None of this is life or death stuff, and there will be stores where we're going :) , it will just be a matter accessibility, cost, and trying to avoid running around trying to find crackers and dental floss in the first 24 hours we're there! Another huge perk we have is that our upstairs neighbors are awesome and have two kids, and will help get us through and point us to the right places to go until we get settled.

But I still don't know how much bug spray to pack.
