Ready (no), set (no), GO (yea!)

Thought I'd include a photo of the living room floor but decided against it. At this time Thursday morning we will likely be starting to board. Our carry-ons will have been approved, Jamie will NOT have been arrested due to all the stuff he has in his pockets (the arresting part just because TSA is annoyed), our checked baggage will be approved and loaded and we won't be the least bit tired from preparing. Yep, that is EXACTLY how Thursday morning will look. 

After reading multiple mystery and horror novels (i.e. travel forums) I have made it my personal mission to do my best to help all of our belongings come through to the other side. (By the other side I refer to Africa...let's think positively people). I have come up with some ideas on this but won't post them because I don't want to give away my secrets to those who would conspire to use them against other travelers. I'll be happy to share with you privately if you desire but for now I will only say it involves duct tape and M&M's.
