I'm sure I'm taking way too much stuff, but, it's better to be prepared--right? I've talked to all my "people" today and will be saying my facebook goodbye. Actually, even though it's only 10 days, I think the extreme distance kind of magnifies everything.

Oh, I will miss Brad (husband), too.

I'm picking Cara (my kids' bff and my travel companion) up at 7:30 tonight. We're staying at the airport hotel. Our flight leaves around 9;00 am. This way, we don't have to deal with traffic and such in the morning.
