On the Road Again.

So... we are going to Cabo.  Tomorrow morning.  At 7:15, which means we have to be at the airport in, like, 2 hours, right?  We're leaving the homeland!  Don't we have to take a test or something?  And we haven't packed.  And Lucy has to go to my parent's house and Joel's not even home yet!  Aaaaahhhh!

We'll be gone until Monday and I think it will be the longest vacation we've taken together.  I'm very excited to go down there, but the logistics of traveling like this drive me crazy.  I'm a little anxious anyway, but adding all of the crap we have to do when we travel pushes me over the edge.  I never know how much stuff to bring.  For example: I plan to pack 5 pairs of shoes.  We're going to be gone for 4 days.  Is that too many?  I don't think so!  The reason being that we will be doing all sorts of different things, including a wedding/reception, and I need to have shoes that will fit every possible situation I might find myself in. 

Also, what purse should I bring?  I was going to bring 2, one for every day and one for the party, but then I reined myself in, but I don't know what purse I should bring!  Or should I even bring a purse?  Should I get a fanny pack?  Do they even make those anymore?  Gah!

As you can see, I am clearly insane when it comes to traveling.  I'm not one of those people who can throw a bunch of stuff into a bag and hope for the best!  I'm trying to be better, but I honestly wouldn't know what to do if I got down there and I had to wear by BLACK flip flops with by BROWN shorts.  Please, someone, help me!

Joel just got home, so I should probably go prod him to start packing so we can get some stuff done.  I will make sure to take lots of pictures (that don't include me in a bathing suit-- no need to thank me!) and I will post all about it when we get back!

You should definitely take a fanny pack. After all, I heard Rick Springfield travels with one : )

I nearly drive myself insane packing too, even though I KNOW I won't give a shit about my clothes once I'm drunk on the beach.

My only piece of advice, as passed on from a friend: Don't drink any McDonald's milkshakes while in Mexico. I think you see where this is going (and going...and dear god, I can't stop going).
