It wouldn't be a family trip if it weren't the morning of our departure with Jorge yet to start packing. Ally and I are both packed in the large suitcases; he thinks he's going to get all he needs in one of the smaller suitcases. We'll see how this works out. Ally showed up last night with her suitcase bulging at the seams; we went through it together and eliminated about a third of the clothes she'd packed (trust me...that still leaves plenty of clothes).
Biggest "must haves" of course are the electronic gear and all of the various chargers - laptop, iPad, iPods, iPhones, cameras. Though we don't have internet in our London apartment, Ally did a Google Earth search last night and found the place is about a block from a Starbucks, so we'll have at least one internet hotspot nearby.
Meals will be a bit of a challenge today with our flight times and the time zone changes. For example, we leave Chicago at 9:30pm, which means it's unlikely dinner will be offered on the flight...but it will just be 6:30pm body time for us, which is too early to have eaten before we board the flight. I'm taking a thermal tote with some fruit and other stuff.
I'm once again traveling with that horrifying passport photo. Wondering if I should make that same "runaway bride" face when I go through customs?
