End of Korea stay..start of new phase of life back home

Hurray....I am so excited to tell y'all that we are flying back to India tomorrow afternoon. I would be away for at least 1-2 weeks from my blog and blogger friends. Bco'z me and my lovely hubby will be setting up our new home, after my marriage we came directly to korea and we dint had any time to set up the things in india. Now we have to start every thing from the beginning.Oh my god i don't know how i am going to do all those things, i have started getting butterfly in my stomach just by thinking about the responsibilities i will have back home. I am already confused with my wishlist what all i have to buy. Whether i should go for Samsung refrigerator or LG! which color curtains should i choose, where should i keep the flower pot..ufffff, it will not be going to easy job as i had thought :)
Oh i forget to mention that we have excess baggage, i am so sad to leave many things back here but i am also happy that few of the things i gave to my housekeeping lady which made her happy. But the most severe consequence of excess  baggage was that i could not shop much [good reason for my husband to be happy, but he don't know yet that i have plan to compensate for this in India ;) ]
So dear friends, end of this small journey of my life in Korea certainly needs a celebration and i would like to invite you all for a cool drink :) Enjoy this cool refreshing drink this summer.
