Packing

Packing for 37 days is no small task. I bought 8 tubs to help us: some for food, some for clothes, some of other items. Kids need toys. We take an arcade that includes computers, Wii, and various hand held games. Beach toys and sandals. Because I work during the trip, we must take my home office. Cameras. Cables. Books. Pens. And the list goes on and on.

We have packed for trips like this (none this long) a dozen times do we are pretty good at it. Somehow, we get it all to fit into the van.

With too much to pack and not enough time, we are hurriedly doing scavenger hunts through the house against our packing lists. We leave on Friday and I don't know how we will possibly be ready.
