getting ready...

Of course, as soon as I opened up a suitcase --

Think it will fit? Thankfully, a car trip does not present the same issues as air travel. Besides not having to fit everything into a overhead compartment-size bag, I now can carry:

Shampoo (more than a teaspoon)

a razor

nail clippers

drinks and snacks

a plant hanger

as many pairs of shoes as I want

gifts that do not have to be the size of thimbles

AND, not that I will, but I COULD bring-

a baseball bat

fencing gear

a fishing knife

ornamental swords

a bottle of wine(okay maybe that one)

you get the idea.

Anyways, we are getting excited!
