It's all real to me now! Yesterday, I spent the day packing so I could just relax and enjoy my week at home. Packing went really smoothly because I had a vague idea about how many outfits and shoes I could put in each case. The fifty pound weight limit really is not very much.

This morning I went to M&I bank in downtown Milwaukee to pick up my 100 Euros. I was thrilled to get them but the exchange rate caused me to cringe a little.

Five days until takeoff!
