Gearing up

With just five days to go we are putting the final touches on the trip. I packed everything a couple days ago and repacked it all today. I took out some things made some room streamlined everything because we are doing carry on once again. We've learned before that checking in bags cost you precious time and stress. So we are doing carry on both Leslie and I.  It takes more effort up front to optimize everything that you pack. However on the trip it is so much easier because they are fewer things to sort through fewer bags to organize and of course no long lines at those ridiculous turnstyles.

Everything all laid out.

Everything all stuffed in! 38 days and this is all that I need.
