We found out the other day that our "expedited" luggage will take up to 45 days to arrive...  This is in comparison to the rest of our household goods that will arrive in 60 days.  Something seems wrong with the math of "expedited" meaning it gets there only 15 days earlier.  Don't get me wrong we are very grateful to have the opportunity to move overseas, but when we both like to know all of the details and to be very organized this process has been very frustrating.  As a side note, no airplane tickets yet...  Those should show up tomorrow.  Well off to grab something to eat and then to pack my suitcase.
