  3. for real? your ticker says you leave in 31 days (or 21?) and you've already packed?? am i missing something? i am in awe that people think this far ahead. probably smart, but damn near impossible for someone like me, who totally packs the night before :)

  4. Yes DANICA, it's totally lighter. You have no idea! Plus I've made a concentrated effort to pack lighter weight fabrics...mmm microfiber.

    niki! i know right- i'm nuts. I have at times packed at the last minute, up late weeding things out, when i went to turkey for instance, i took out a bag! worth of items sometime around 1am... but since there's been such anticipation for this trip... 20 days compared to a couple years of wanting is nothing!

  5. I am so excited for you, and also totally and completely jealous. I'm definitely going to have to start planning my next big adventure.

    Can't wait for your travel tales!

    (P.S. Microfiber - excellent idea, will save that for future reference)

  6. Err M,
    Have you packed your ability to write in your kit bag? When will there be a new post? No pressure, but geez....

  7. I took a Space Pen because they are supposed to work up to 295 degrees, so you can carry it in your pocket and not worry about it leaking. It worked!
