My bags are packed and I’m ready to go. I know… it sounds like a song.

I’ve done well. I’ve didn’t have any problems getting all the clothes I chose into my 22″ bag. It wasn’t too bad at first but it is a bit more heavy now that I’ve put a couple of guide books and a French grammar book.

I’m taking more than I normally do. I’m a bit surprised that I’m able to get as much as I have. I have 2 capri, 1 pair of slacks, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 1 pair of shorts, 1 pair of privos, 1 sandal, 4 t-shirts, 3 sleeveless tops, 1 long sleeve top, 1 rain jacket, swimsuit, underwear, 1 sweater. Plus what I will wear on the plane (jeans). G is bringing the hiking boots. For electronics, cell phone, small camera, i-pod, speakers, photo portable disk. 2 guide books. Toiletries.

G has to work until 7:30 so I’m going to cook a nice fillet of salmon for dinner. I made up 8 frozen dinners for him and left him a list of possible dishes that he can cook.

Now to relax. Tomorrow France!
