I have been running around like a crazy person today, which is fine, and now I need to go pack. I have to get all my toiletries into the middle of my soft-sided backpack and hope that the jostling around on the plane doesn’t burst everything… that and the pressure…

Anyway, just wanted to let y’all know the update. I was seriously contemplating a hard-sided suitcase, for the luggage (and so I could replace Brandon’s bottle of Vodka and get my own), but it just wasn’t worth it… I am putting everything I THINK they could take out of my carryon into my pack… woo!!

And that includes my Nalgene… okay, so I just thought of something – are they going to make the airlines start providing food again? As it stands right now, I am not sure if one can take FOOD onto the plane… and continental planes in the States sell food, not much else… anyway, just a random thought.

This city is gorgeous and I’m sad to be leaving. But, I’m happy to be getting home. Is that an oxymoron? I got to say goodbye to Yaroslav today, and that was nice – except that I had to say goodbye… blech.

More on the flip side… aka LA.
