We are 15 days till we embark on your largest trip ever!  It's hard to tell if I am more stressed or excited-if I had to pick one I think it would be excited.  I have been asked a few times how I pack for a 6 1/2 month trip.  Well for me it seems to take 12 bags:
                                    *1 case full of liquid 'stuff' (lotions, sunscreens, toothpaste, etc..) 
                                    *2 duffel bags with scuba gear (1 for each of us)
                                    *1 case with crafty stuff for sea days
                                    *1 huge duffel with our shoes, first aid kit, 
                                    *2 suitcases with clothes (1 for each of us)
                                    *1 backpacks with pre-cruise clothes for both of us
                                    *3 backpacks with camera gear (scuba cameras, and safari lenses)
                                    *1 small duffel with room decorating stuff.
The most important thing out of all packing is my blue binder.  That binder holds our passports, visas, trip vouchers, and every plan I have made over the last 2 years.  

Well I guess that's all for today.  I'll be back Jan 1st!
