Well, today was spent packing and repacking our
backpacks. Doug’s is down to under 16lbs
& mine under 15lbs. We really were
trying to get to 14lbs or less, but I just don’t know if that will be
possible. Doug is carrying things that
we share. As it is my hair is going to
look horrible for 42 days, no gel, hairspray, curling iron or hairdryer. What was I thinking???
Here is what is filling up our backpacks. The 4 letters that we kept saying was
something that we learned from our nephew Tony S. ~ABC~
