Almost packed to come down

6 years ago
Guys, I wanted to thank you all for all your help. We will be there tomorrow with eyes wide open thanks to so many who have helped to educate me. I learned long ago that while reading is key, talking to folks will help one learn more, faster than any other way and it's a lot more fun "talking" with folks, even if it's on a keyboard because each remembers there's another human being at the other end...very cool!

Kerry is coming over after dropping her Dad off up at the train station to go back to NY. I was really trying to be packed and ready so we could just enjoy our time together this evening. We're going to call a couple of new friends we've been fortunate to meet from down there. Then early in the morning, we're off to BWI and we'll be there 'round lunchtime.

I've got a huge pile of gear on my dining room table and 3 suitcases of diminishing size on the floor & I'm trying to figure which to attempt the "compression fit" to get it all in. Those sucky bags that you hook up to the vac work well to reduce bulk but you can never count on finding a vac at the other end of your trip!

Of course this is what I affectionately call my "first pass" at packing.....by 8PM this evening, I'll be down to two pairs of shorts & 6 tees in lieu of the 8 pairs/ 12 tees on the table now...that kind of thing-LOL

Thanks again all!
