Packing by the numbers
Three people (soon to be four)
three and a half weeks in a very cold place
all their clothes for said place, and dress clothes for court
ditto toiletries
entertainment for an inquisitive six year old
entertainment for easily bored fourty four year old
paper work for myriad reports to the authorities
cameras, computer, and accoutrements for technology to record the event
snacks for the thirty eight hour trip over
coffee and tea to supplant the seven dollar a cup brew the hotel offers
all this and more to fit into

three roller duffel bags......yeah right

It's midnight before this adventure lifts off. about one third of the way packed, still don't have our visas from the out of state Russian consulate. Yikes! The visa service assuses us they are on it. We will be waiting at the door for the delivery man tomorrow. Scheduled to head to New Orleans at six. Keep your fingers crossed.
