Packing!

It's Sunday!  Four days until we leave.  Whew!  Wrapping up details today.  We will be gone three weeks but . . . as usual, we are packing very lightly.  Two pairs of pants and two dresses for me (with two blouses, one t-shirt and one sweater).  David is taking three pairs of pants, three shirts, one sweater and one sport coat.  Get used to the outfits below; you will be seeing them over and over again!

I only pack what I can carry myself and the older I get the less I can carry.  One of these years I'll just be taking the clothes on my back. Wouldn't that be liberating!!!  

We have isolated the other necessities (underwear, makeup, medication, vitamins, phone chargers, etc.) to add to the bags right before we leave.
  
Our flight to Chicago leaves sooooo early.  We have arranged for an Uber driver to take us to the airport at 4:00 a.m.  Yikes!  But the more tired we are, the better chance that we will be able to sleep on the long flight from Chicago to Tokyo.
