Overpacking? Yes!

Saturday morning started as it often does in the Lichty household with biscuits and gravy and a busy day.  Lots of small details today including fixing the sprinkler system, changing the oil in the lawnmower, copies of IDs, notes for caregivers, wonderful phone call with our power of attorney and Skyping with friends.  Oh, and in there, we also purchased clothing for our son.  Not sure what size he wears, but we feel confident it will be between 3-18 months.  That being the case, we took inventory of recent hand me downs and other inventory in the house.  Thanks to the great second hand store we got a lot of great stuff, great brands, for a lot less money than we expected.  Now the problem begins:  How many bags to take?  Where do we put it?  Should we plan for the possibility of losing our luggage?  Attached is a photo of Sheri's haul today which constitutes the majority of our son's clothes.  Funny that we have to take most of it with us.

Now for a fun Easter including a mutant bunny cake, barbecue and other errands to get most of our planning done.  6 days to takeoff for a whirlwind trip outside of North America.
