Departure day is here.  OMG!  This is really happening.  This morning I cut the grass, pulled the camper out and am packing.  Last month my brother-in-law (Paul) and I opened the camper and stuffed it with non-perishables.  Need to maximize all free space I have to make this an enjoyable trip.

The last two days I've been playing games with my sleeping patterns.  Trying to take a long nap late today for an 11pm departure.  If I can't, then I'll just have to sleep and leave around 2 or 3am.  This first drive will be the longest of the entire trip and want the kids to sleep through most of it to minimize irritation.
