Finished!

I unpacked and repacked my suitcase at least 3 times today. I finally got every important item in it, and it's only 47.5 pounds! I wish I had more room for yarn, but oh well. It's finally done!

I tried to use those Space Saver bags. Packing tip: Don't use those things. They suck, and you can fit more stuff by rolling your clothes. Seriously. Besides, I got the kind where you can roll the air out instead of using a vacuum, and the "patented one-way air valve" popped on half of them. I haven't even gone anywhere yet! In other words, Space Saver bags are a waste of $12.

Yesterday, we ran around town, doing errands and picking up the few things I had left to get. I got an expandable duffel bag, now nestled deeply into my suitcase. I'm excited about that, because then I only have to have one bag to bring over, but if I need it, I have two to bring home. I also got a bunch of yarn, which I'm also excited about. The important event, however, was ordering money from Grandma's bank. It won't come in until Monday, though. If it doesn't, I'll be angry. I didn't think the people there were very helpful.

Now I basically just have to wait around until Tuesday. I've got a few odds and ends left to take care of, but I am, for the most part, done!
