Two weeks out and I have packed and repacked my suitcase seven times and practiced lifting it up over my head.  I need to be able to get it into the overhead bin by myself.  No, I’m not asking for help.  I’ll die on that hill lol.  

I have been trying to get all my stuff to fit in the carry-on along with my backpack.  I even switched to my biggest and most manageable backpack and all my things still barely fit.  I guess I could leave out the bulk of my food and purchase it when I get there but I’m a weird sleeper and I need my pillow.  I really can’t live without it lol.  I wonder if they don’t count it as your personal item?

I’m debating extending my trip three days, returning Saturday so Kris can  drop me off and pick me up. Then I’m not driving home in the dark but I’ve found that changing flights is a pain.  I have to say I want to change the return flight to Friday and then take a red eye in order to get back Saturday morning.  That would add four hours to the trip back and messes up the seats I’ve already picked out. It does give me all of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to do stuff on the island before leaving. I wouldn’t fly out until 630pm.  Normally doing anything on a fly out day is unheard of.  At least for me lol.
