1) Spent the day doing laundry, packing, and cleaning. Can't believe this trip came up so quickly.

2) Packing was actually pretty fast - I'd been putting stuff to the side for months. I'm 99% done!

3) Thank goodness for vacuum sealing bags. 2.5 weeks in one carry on.

4) Dreaming and scheming.

5) Reading has trickled to nothing lately. It's hard to concentrate. But I'll have 21 hours in the air (ugh!) to get some reading done.

6) Down to the wire and putting all the final things in order.
