Sunday May 24th Still packing??

Hard to believe we're still packing and repacking everything from clothes to critical documents. I'm trying to downsize our big carryon to a much smaller carryon and it's very challenging. I learned that if you pack 8 diapers into a zip lock and then sit on it that you can literally shrink the size by 60%. Talk about zipping your stuff to pack in more.

Somehow we're being distracted by garage sales of cool kids stuff, to detailing the van, to having a gardener making our yard less savage. The highlight reward was going out to Mizu for a buffet But that took away 2-3 hours of packing time too and made us too full to productive yesterday night. . Today, I have to go to Costco for new tires for our van, so it will be safer to drive down to UCI to pick up Anthony and friends.

It's now 4:00 pm and the smaller travel broke the zipper. It was fortunate that it broke here. I purchased another travel case that was regular. $249 but was on sale for $129 then $49.99 and I also got a $20 discount Memorial weekend special (last of the big time spenders). This case is smaller than our wheeled duffle bag and bigger than the smaller 20 inch suitcase. It's just right!
We're making progress! We have our dog sitter, house sitter, and house watchers all coordinated! yea. Now..... back to packing. (sigh).
