There are some things that you can easily find in Bolivia, just like here, and others that are almost impossible to find. Also, there are certain items that cost double there than what they do here. I want to pack what is going to be scarce there, or very expensive, of course. We've been gone so long, I'm not sure if our things are still where we left them, or if our friends went and got them.
So, since a fan costs $50 there, and so does an electric stove, and very difficult to locate, I'm going to make sure that these two items fit in the suitcases. The fan I already have. I need to find an electric stove here, though.
Crochet hooks are almost impossible to find, as are most types of crafts supplies, so those will be going. I'm attached to the sewing machine, and fought for the stupid thing, too (that's a whole 'nother blog post there, wow!) so that is definitely going in the luggage. I'm not too sure about the serger. I've never had it up and running, and Nicole has forgotten how to run one.
His toys, well, he's a typical kid, and he wants to take EVERYTHING! That's not possible, so I've started trying to get him hooked on the idea of selling his toys and saving the money for new toys once we get back. I'll keep you posted!
