We're making progess packing, but Fred's a bit concerned we're running out of room in the car. Let's see, we've got the virtual computer room, kitchen gear, tent, sleeping bags, stove, cooler, snacks and goodies already in the car. I'm afraid to look. Pillows, only one each - this is the ultimate in roughing it for someone used to much cushier surroundings. Raincoats - thanks to Herb & Lori, along with heavier jackets, and 2 suitcases are still to find a home in the buggy.
We've had some controversy about clothing. I'm assuming I'll be grubby for a week, Fred's thinking we'll want to go someplace nice for dinner and should pack accordingly. Hmmm.... I fully expect futher discussions regarding the single "toiletry tote" that we're sharing, but I'll have to wait for Fred to finish before I know if I'm territorially safe.
I love the comment Fred made about his cotton short sleeve shirts he's packed: "I'm camping and I don't have to look good doing it," a paraphrase, of course.
The computer room is actually our 2 laptops, a printer, chargers, cables and other handy odd'n'ends to make sure we're able to stay in touch. We are optimistically naive about have cell phone and therefore internet access - of course we'll want to check email etc when the sun goes down and it's pitch black outside.
Departure is T minus 22 hours and we still haven't looked at the map. There's still time tomorrow before we leave, I'm sure. Fred just asked how to find I-70, so I'm sure we'll be checking out the map soon.
