Rose - Got my bag of &quot;essentials&quot; packed but haven&#39;t started on the clothes yet.  They are all in bags on the closet shelf though and ready to go. I  checked  your itinerary hoping our paths might cross along the way but it looks like we will just be missing each other.  Oh well, perhaps next time.  <br />

Mercedes - hope you get some relief from your sciatica.  I know how painful that can be.  My sympathies are with you.
