Last Minute

After months of planning and searching our trip to Europe is almost here! Only 2 more days of waiting and then we will be on a plane headed to Paris (with a couple of detours to NYC and Helsinki...so I will be able to say I've been to Finland!). These last few days are not filled with waiting through, they have been occupied with last minute errands, laundry, cleaning, and lists. As many of you know I am a queen of lists...I love making them and checking things off...so right now I have a list going for everything...packing, "to do's", food my parents can take, care notes for our cat...you get the idea.

I love packing for vacation and this one is especially challenging. I have had to fit everything I need for 6 weeks of travel in 1 carry on backpack and 1 suitcase measuring 22"w x 14"d x 6" h. Challenging. I managed quite a variety of tanks, dresses, and shorts and my list is a bit more extensive than 7's, so I'm not going to list it here. I'm pretty proud of what I fit in my bag and I even left some room so I can buy things while we are there!

I will miss you all while we're gone...enjoy following our Dots on the Map! :)
