The Countdown

It is three days before I leave! I am looking at a pile of gifts for my host family and I'm wondering how I will take ALL of it. Some of the teachers know who is in their host family...like a dad, mom, one boy, etc. I don't know anything. So, I am taking salt water taffy from the beach, Virginia quarters, a coffee table book about Virginia, Bath and Body Works lotions (I was told by a Japanese friend that these are real treats), m & ms, Hickory t-shirts and pens. Everything needs to be wrapped. Dilemma: wrap now or later. I'm thinking later...take tissue paper and pretty bags??? What do you think?

I have been wrestling with this fish issue? I have stood at the Harris Teeter sushi spot and said to myself "do it!" I can't!!!!!

Help....suggestions please!
