Oy....the packing....

Well, for any good trip the final necessity is the packing....and we waited til the last minute to get it done, too.  It's 10pm the night before we have to get up at 5am to catch our morning flight to California and we JUST finished all our packing.  Here are some pics of everything thrown around our bedroom and spare bedroom:

 Miraculously....we were able to get it ALL into just 3 suitcases that all came in under 50 pounds!  We were pretty pleased....now we just have to hope that we packed everything we need.  We're not used to having to pack for a climate that might be chilly....vacation for us usually involves sun and swimming and beaches....but this time around it's whales and glaciers and igloos for us! YIPPEE!!!  

OK, now have to turn in so we can get up in time to make our flight....looking forward to bringing you all along on our trip!
