Shopping and "test" packing...

This past weekend, we got busy shopping in Reno on Saturday.  REI did very well where the girls scored some shoes, dresses, etc.  Slowly we have been checking off the list of last minute items to pick up.

And then on Sunday, we did a "test" pack where everyone went through a dry run of all the clothes, shoes, electronics, etc that they would need for wandering through Europe.  The goal is to have NO checkin luggage.  Fortunately, it seems that we were all able to pare down to the essential clothes that would fit into a carry on bag.  In case, people were curious... this includes 6 days of full outfits, rain jackets, extra layers, and 3 pairs of shoes each.  Other items include a laptop, a couple of cameras, 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, 1 Kindle and all the various chargers and cords.  Anyhow, it looks like we were all able to pack everything in with some room to spare!



Too bad the girls still have 2 weeks before they leave and Michele and I have 2 more additional weeks after that.  Anyhow, very exciting and the list of a few last minute things has been whittled down.  Time to continue to brush up on the French :).
