Getting ready to roll

I started my "don't forget this" pile in the dining room this week. As I think of things I can't forget to take on our road trip, they get added to the pile. Like just today, I remembered my cell phone charger. Duh. Well, I hope I don't forget anything big. Tried to swap my 128MB memory card for Joanns 1Gig. Our cameras are almost identical. Turns out her card won't work in mine, even though mine will work in hers. How annoying. So, I sprung the $25 for a 256MB card so that gives me about 550 pictures, plus 200 on the little red camera. Should be enough for 12 days.

I have my organization notebook. I have all the maps to the campgrounds, and I even printed out maps to public libraries in towns we will be in, just in case we can stop in and check our e-mail.

Today I spent an hour and got my "dry goods" packed up. Tomorrow just have to load the ice chest with the "cold goods" and then load the car. We have our cat-sitter / house-sitter / gerbil-sitter all lined up so we are good to go.

I am getting a bit nervous, butterflies in my tummy and all! So exciting.
