We leave in less than 48 hours and as you can probably imagine our to-do list seems insurmountable! So now it's time to separate the "must-do" from the "to-do" list and focus our efforts. Michelle's working today and I have to finish up a couple of work things as well and then I can focus on trip preparations. Oh, yeah, and we're having a little graduation party for Michelle and our friend Ruth at our house tonight! (not sure what we were thinking when we planned that, especially at our house!)
We packed last night so now it's just adding a couple little things here and there. We have a small sling bag to take to Chicago that has clothes we plan to wear in Chicago and then donate to Goodwill so that we don't have to unpack our backpacks this weekend. No offense to our friends and family in Chicago but it feels a little anti-climactic to us to be all packed for this trip around the world and then stop in Chicago! =) But it will be great to see everyone and especially Laura & Justin and their new baby Samantha Claire!
Besides trying to finish up stuff for work and do homework (just me now since Michelle has officially graduated!!) we have to pack up all the stuff in our bedroom & bathroom because we found a subletter for the two months were gone. The guy who's subletting loves boxers so it will be great to have him to help Matt & Trevor take care of our babies while we're gone.
Okay, time for me to head out and get some things crossed off the list!

So bummed to miss out on the grad party, and my last chance to see you two before you take on the world. If only my term reports could write themselves. I send you much love and positive travel karma. Keep the posts coming. I can't wait to hear about your adventures.
