I�m all packed. I actually fit everything I wanted to take in ONE large suitcase. It�s friggin heavy. But my luggage test is if I can pick it up off the ground with one hand, and I could, so it shouldn�t be too heavy. I even got my regular pillow in there (I have this thing about using other pillows, esp hotel pillows. And it�s not just the pillowcase. My pillow is all squishy and bendy and well, if I can fit, which I can, I will take it, so I am).

I hope we can keep to our itinerary. There is only way day where we are prob pushing it a bit on everything we want to fit in (Tues 9/7), but we have 2 days at the end where we can try to fit anything we miss in. And if we don�t, we don�t, no sweat. People have been asking about my itinerary, so I�m just gonna post it here:
