T Minus 4 days and counting

YIKES!

Madrid is approaching quickly. Between working my last day at WilmerHale, picking up my visa and spending my last weekend with the friends, it seems more and more defentitive each and every moment. Am I ready? NO, of course not. Am I going Friday come hell or high water? Of course!

The question/problem of the day? Host family gifts? What do I buy a Spanish family to introduce Kansas to them? I was orginally thinking the Wizard of Oz on DVD, corney I know but it would work, or atleast I thought so until I realized Europe doesnt quite have the same DVD tech we do on this side of the pond. That idea is out. Then I moved on to thinking books. Something about KS, something about DC and maybe even some stuff about AU? Minor problem though, do they speak English? I wont know til I get there. That idea is out. Now I am left thinking picture/coffee table books, food, toys (for kids i am not sure if they have), and the like? Nothing seems right though.... any ideas?
