25 hours!

We head to the airport in about 24 hours and take off in approximately 25 hours! I believe everyone's suitcases are actually packed and we are just checking off the last minute things to put in the carry-ons.

Actually we are all just taking carry-ons - no checked baggage. We didn't want to arrive in Boston and need to start driving but have to wait around for lost luggage. And then after we made the decision to just take carry-ons, the airlines started charging even for the first checked bag....so, 1 small suitcase and one other bag for each of us. It is actually working better than I thought it would. Spacesaver bags are great for getting lots of things packed in a small space.

We made up notes for the kids to put in all the newspapers they deliver to let their customers know that they would be gone and who the substitute carrier would be. It paid off because Abigail received a VERY big tip from one of her customers (needless to say she will be buying dinner for us along the way :-) ). Kenneth has a note to stop in and see one of his customers for a tip, so they are very excited about that.

Well, still have a few loose ends to tie up so until then.....
