14 more sleeps

The suitcases are out and the clothes are starting to make their way to the spare room for the big trip.  May seem odd to all of you that I start packing 2 weeks in advance, but it helps me to remember to bring everything.  Whenever I think of something that I need to pack, I throw it in the spare room.  The bad news is that I pass by that room and wonder where the heck is all this stuff going to fit.  I need to be cautious in my packing this year as there are so many great places to shop in Asia that I need to leave lots of room for all my purchases:)
