Roughly two days left. I'm getting excited. I've started to try and pack everything early to avoid that last minute rush.
You know, it really is hard to try and pack a decent amount of clothes, extra shoes, the camera, a jacket and those 'personal necessities' in one suitcase and a carry-on for a ten day trip. And the laptop takes up my second carry-on bag. But I think I've got it under control. I will pack less shirts and count on hitting a laundromat about halfway home. And you can't rule out an 'I Survived Route 66' or 'The Grand Canyon: America's Most Famous Hole In The Ground' t-shirt. That will free up some room for the camera's tripod.
I'm sure my folks will love that one.
