AHHHHH! We leave Sunday!!!

---

The kids have packed. (inappropriately!) I need to repack their things tomorrow, then pack for us. Clean the house. Attend a parade, gather candy.(ok the kids will do that part) Find my watch. Get the dog to the kennel. Leave an indepth note for my sister. Attend church tomorrow night. Then we leave bright and early on Sunday morning to be on the road by 5:30am. We need to be at O'hare airport by noon.

I've got my itinerary typed up and all my confirmations printed out. We have 50 rolls of film and a digital camera. Each kid has their own camera and insist on 20 rolls apiece. Won't happen, but everyone has their dream. Mine is to be able to sleep on the plane for at least 4 hours so Monday won't be a total #ell. I know my husband can't sleep on the plane, so it will be my job to drive the first day as we arrive at 8:00am. I'll be bringing a cold medicine that makes us drowsy. And give my kids large doses as well as myself. Since we're starting this vacation with colds all around, this will serve a dual purpose.

I'll type up our experiences and put them in the other part of the forum next week. Have a great week everyone!

Val,

Lots of last-minute details to wrap up! It's always that way. I hope that your colds are almost over and that you get some sleep on the plane. But mostly I wish you all a fantastic trip, some good weather and lots of serendipity along the way. We will look forward to hearing your story when you return. Bon Voyage!
