Which is more important? Packing or Sleep?

I know I need to be in bed but I am so afraid I am forgetting something important. I have all kinds of check lists, but I can't make everything fit into the bags the way I want them to.

Everyone has warned me that I would be charged for all the extra bags, but I just checked American Airlines website and they say for connecting international flights there is no charge. That makes it a lot easier. I was trying to fit 2 or 3 suitcases into one to avoid penalties. Now I can pack like a reasonable person, check most of it and not worry about it. I'm not sure how strict they are about a purse, a backpack, and a carry on bag. I know I asked for your votes, but I feel like the Estelle Getty character from Golden Girls and can't go without a purse! Bless her heart, I saw where she passed away this week.

I have to say huge thanks to so many who have been there to help with last minutes choices, crises, decisions, and other help. If I start to name everyone than I know I will leave someone out.

But I have to say a special thank you to my co-workers, Gloria and Audrey. It is always difficult for me to be off from work. But with them in charge, I can leave without a worry. They handle things better than I could ever! Thank you guys for listening, praying, caring, and providing so many things I needed on this trip.

Maybe more later, but I have to go to bed!

Oh yeah, we at least had a good send off meal at Golden Corral! I shouldn't eat again for days!
