I then fine-tuned it over time with trips. We then print off a copy, and then check things off as we go, so we are all packed without having to think to hard (just the first time making the list and some very small fine tuning required thinking). I write everything on it- say for example shorts and winter coats are on it- so if its summer I just check off winter coats without packing them as I don't need them or vice versa but it works for anytime we travel (we do a lot to see family). The other thing I did was make a "before leaving" checklist- water plants, move them out of direct sun so they don't dry out, turn the furnace down, shut windows...etc etc. and also print it off and check it off as things are done. Saves me a lot of time and effort! Can't think of anything else you missed though. Have a great time! the BEST thing I ever did was make a list on my computer with check boxes for every possible thing we need every time we travel. I then fine-tuned it over time with trips.

Check the airline website to be sure, but I know when we have traveled the airlines they have not counted them, only the actual bags.

And coffee just happens to be one of my last unhealthy indulgences... :) Touche, Amy! :) My hope is that a week of craziness will be worth it, so that I can truly rest for 2 weeks with my family. That will make it very worthwhile! I agree, Mrs. Taft- Seattle is great! And coffee just happens to be one of my last unhealthy indulgences... :)
