Packing...

After one final MEC run (the 6th or 7th between us?) we've started the process. All I can say is thank god for ziplocs, chocolate, and moms. Not quite sure how "pack lightly" turned into 30 pounds of hygeine/first aid stuff and Em conceding to bring 3 bathing suits instead of 5 (yes yes, I know they're small)... But things are coming along and if it turns out I don't need 3 bottles of sunscreen, I can make a donation to some poor sunburned tourist.

All cynicism aside, I'm finally getting those pangs of excitment that I only get right before an adventure and I'm going to sign off right now so I can get back to organizing my lonely planets and feeling giddy. :)
