2 weeks left before I leave....still a long time, but at the same time....only 2 weeks!
So, here's the update...gifts for my host family has been pretty much decided.
Otoosan: Business card case (Okaasan told me he works 5 days a week. Leaves the house at 6:30am and comes home at 10pm. Since he is so busy with work, I want to get something he can use at work.)
Okaasan: Still a little undecided. It's either the Teaposy tea set I previously got or a silk scarf that Thiti will help me buy. I am leaning towards silk scarf because then my Okaasan can wear it (and it's easier for me to bring with me, the Teaposy set is big...although I love it.)
Riho-chan and Haruka-chan: My 12 and 9 years old sisters. I got them a really pretty and cute stationery set that can be use as a small treasure/jewelry box. I also got them a keychain pen that has a wacky face on it. I like it, so I hope they do too.
Cookie: My golden retriever dog =).... yes she gets a gift too. I got her a pack of dog snacks, Choco-Milk Drops. My dogs go crazy over it, so I think Cookie will enjoy it too.
* Besides these, I bought some keychains of NYC stuff and will give it to each person in my host family, as well as people I meet along the way. I also want to get some popcorns from Dales and Thomas,....they look so good that I want to eat them all. Probably going to get some sampler packs (for myself, my host family, and whoever). With the popcorn, I will wrap it up with the picture book I got of NYC, I guess this will be a family gift.
Ok, I know I probably spent too much on gifts and what not but oh wells since I bought most of the stuff already. I guess I don't really need to get the popcorns but it looks so yummy, so I will still get it anyways.
Other than being busy on deciding gifts (took me months after all >_<), I already packed up most stuff. So far, I have 1 suitcase and 1 duffle bag carry on as well as a handbag. The suitcase is not full yet so I can fit more stuff in. Looking at how things are, I will probably be able to fit everything into 1 suit case but if not...I will bring a extra smaller one as my 2nd checked luggage, because I don't want to take the chance of my luggage being overweight (50lbs max) and being charge $100+ fee on it X_x. Ok, that's all for now.

Oh, Yan has a blog too ;) I know, 2 weeks, eh? My body's turning itself inside out from the stress already, I'm horrible with stress :P
But those seem like great gift ideas, I think they'll be much appreciated! I'm thinking of bringing some Maple Syrup stuff, since Canada, you know. Since I'm Acadian as well as Canadian, we're usually pretty much represented by three things: fiddling, Acadian flags (French flag with a yellow star in the blue) and lobster. I can't really bring over a lobster, or a violin, so I guess it'll default to my nationality rather than my ethnicity, heh. Also, since I don't have a host family, so I just need to bring some stuff for some of my friends there and some random things to hand out. Still not sure.
