Still packing.  <br />
<br />
It&#39;s raining in Alaska...has been for some time and looks like it will be by the time we get there.  I have been all over looking for rain ponchos because I don&#39;t want to have to carry an umbrella everywhere we go.  Rain equipment is not sold in so. California in the middle of summer.<br />
<br />
The other morning I asked my hubby if he had any ponchos at work.  He said, &quot;No, we have a Mike, a Dave, a Gary, but no Ponchos&quot;.  <br />
<br />
Just what I needed...a joker.  <br />
<br />
So, I made one more effort yesterday to find ponchos and we have a new Sports Chalet in the neighborhood.  They had 5 ponchos left....cheap, cheap, 99c ponchos.  I bought them all.  There are four of us going, and it looks like these ponchos will last through one excursion.  We&#39;ll do our best to make them last.  <br />
<br />
I&#39;m happy now.
