Departure Day

It's nearly 9am here in California. John is still asleep and his dad is due to arrive in less than two hours. I, however, am frantically packing away last minute essentials: new toenail polish from Sephora (I know I'll probably never have my socks off for more than 5 minutes!), eyeglass prescription (would love some newer frames...wonder if lenses, as well as Rx, are less expensive there?), and I have yet to run to Kinko's to copy some mercedes steering column pages that he wants me to bring with me.

We've been pretty good about packing light. Two pairs of jeans and a nice pair of slacks for each of us. We're really lucky to have found a studio with a washer/dryer so that we can just rewear items. We did collapse a medium sized duffle bag into my carry-on suitcase so that we will be able to bring lots of things home. That is...if the dollar doesn't slip into oblivion.

Off to Kinkos!
