Packing? Yep, almost done!

So, for those following along, I hate to pack.  I am however, aware of this fact, and yet I still never seem to start any earlier.
Last night, we got all of our clothes, shoes, etc out and started making piles on the bed.  We usually cross-pack our clothes into each suitcase, so if you lose one, at least everyone has clean underwear!!!!
Once we started this process, we realized we were missing a suitcase - and by missing, I mean "forgot that it had broken on the last trip in June and didn't yet buy another one"
Oops.  Lucky for us, we aren't leaving until 10:40pm Tuesday!!!

In light of only having 1 bag, we decided to pack the "stuff I won't need in Florida but need on the cruise ship" bag first.  We stuffed that thing full, and were CERTAIN we had exceeded the weight allowance.   With much trepidation, we placed it on the scale and waited breathlessly for the beep.  When it arrived - we were astonished at the result!!!  49.7 pounds!!!!!

How's that for being under the limit?  :)

The balance of the packing will commence when we arrive home this afternoon, after Chris has braved Costco to purchase a new suitcase.  Always an adventure around here!
