12 Days to Go

Mom is starting to dream about packing. Actually, what she's doing is having nightmares.

The recurring theme is a race to fill empty suitcases with just minutes to go before leaving for the airport, to fly to Europe, with 2 kids, for a month.

It's not as if the family is going to a deserted island with no way to buy what they need upon arrival, but mom has preparation anxiety nevertheless.

In an effort to alleviate the anxiety, today the packing process has begun:
  1. got one big suitcase out to start setting aside things that are going for sure (gifts, enough vitamins for the trip - to be rearranged later)
  2. organized all of the movies and music (gather everything from the car, bedrooms, etc.) and put it back into its proper case and location, so they can choose what to take later
  3. located and made photocopies of immunization records and passports 
  4. cleaned out laptop bag
  5. gathered electronics and all of the accessories (chargers, cables, batteries, camera, video camera, laptop, phone, etc.)
  6. removed all pictures and video that were stored on the cameras, so there is plenty of room for new
  7. backed up laptop hard drive
