All that's left is the waiting!

Well, today we finished up our packing and got pretty much everything ready to leave early Wednesday morning for Chicago. I only ran into a couple of snags. The first of which was having too many liquids for two carry-ons. My dad is going to carry on some of the baby medicines we need to take in his 1 qt Ziploc bag, so that problem is solved. I just need to get the stuff down to my brother's before we leave. The 2nd problem, has a similar solution. I called in refills for my allergy perscriptions on Saturday, pills and nose spray. Well, I went in to pick them up today and the pharmacy said that they could only refill the nose spray because it hadn't been long enough inbetween when I last refilled the pills for my insurance to cover it. The earliest it could be refilled is Wednesday, the 25th. That wouldn't be a problem, but we'll be in the air on Wednesday on our way to Chicago. Argh!!! So again, I asked my dad if he would stop by and pick it up on his way to my brother's before he leaves on Thursday morning. He said he will. Both problems solved! Good thing my dad is going with us, if for no other reason than the be our packmule and assistant :-)

So tomorrow night, we'll take the girls to their respective homes where they'll be staying. Then we'll get up really early Wednesday morning to get to the airport, and we're off!

Here's a photo I took of my bags. The one on the right is my roller carry-on. The one of the left is the diaper bag that I'm using as a backpack. I have to tell all those nay-sayers, that I was able to get everything into my carry-ons AND I even was able to pack a Thermos!!! That's DD1 laying on the bed watching tv. Boy am I gonna miss her and her sister while we're away!
