The other thing I'm trying to wrap my mind around is this ideea of being frantic before a vacation. You still have plenty of time, almost a day and a half, to get ready. I fly out on Thursday afternoon. Today I put up the typhoon shutters so the house will be protected while I'm away. On Thursday morning I will do my laundry, fold it and pack it and haul the duffle bag up to the airport for checkin by 1:00. Nothing to it.
