It is hard to know what to pack...will the weather be nice? will it be rainey? will it be cold? I’ve been trying to pack enough for seven days knowing that we can stop at a laundromat. Still seven days is a lot of clothes.

A month or so ago I bought the new Microsoft Streets and Trips software that includes the little GPS receiver. I didn't want a Garmin or TomTom because they are expensive and I don't need anything like that to use in the Blazer so $70.00 for the Microsoft thing wasn't that expensive. Taking the laptop of course includes dragging along multitude of cables, cords and accessories not to mention whoever copilots being stuck with the thing in their lap but we would be taking the laptop anyway so we'll see how the nav. system works out.

When we were planning on going to Europe I bought these

What is really astonishing is the amount of other extraneous stuff that we need to pack in addition to all the laptop crap. Cell phones -- chargers for both. Ipods -- chargers for both. Cameras -- Charger for Cal's, extra batteries for mine and card reader for both and that's just the things I can remember right now. I know there will be more before I'm done.

I suppose it is silly but I still need to clean the house. I'm well aware that the place will be cat hair city when we get back but at least it'll be clean when we leave. The cats will appreciate that.
