Sure I'm still 3 months out but man I'm checking off the days and glancing at the clock a lot. 3 months is forever. It's a whole life-time, but that hasn't stopped me from making my lists and checking it twice. Plus there were some great laborday sales. So I couldn't miss out on that! And who wants to blog about things that are happening in your life right now, when you can blog about things that are going to happen later and involve foreign travel?

Now when you say Pens... do you mean the writing implement or your partner in crime.
good idea. i'm singing that song right now about how without you, and my heart and sadness and rain...
so, clearly both.
Please post more information about the Anti-Inflammation patches. I use an ibu gel that I get from England, and it works well, but I'm always looking for new medications!
vacuum bags? door stop?
Vacuum bags I think are the big plastic bags where you suck out all the air, so you can get more clothes in your pack, right? But yeah, what about the door wedge? 'Splain!
i forgot to look at the anti/inflam patches in the drawer this AM but apparently you can stick them on and they heat up for like 8 hours? that could just be a myth of memory though
pen yes, the vacuum bags are for compression if absolutely necessary, though i think i'm more likely to in the first few days in antigua try to find a postoffice and ship stuff home.
the door wedge- just checking to see if my readers are reading carefully... um actually... uh, it was on a suggestion list as a safety precaution in shady places. so you cant push open a door. i do feel its excessive though but i thought i'd put it on the preliminary list... though there was this one hotel in turkey where my friend and i wedged a chair under the doorknob. what an awful night that was.
And won't the bees be sad to be separated from Burt?
I'm all in favor of the door wedge, like what if the doorknob is broken, or non existant? Or you need to prop the door open for a breeze but because of the breeze it keeps wanting to shut.
There was no legend to explain big open dot little solid dot.
do cameras need a change of clothing?
gotcha! thanks! seems a little excessive, but at the same time, it doesn't really take up that much room, right? Especially if you use vacuum bags!
