This weekend was spent with the Tewksbury's, planning what we will pack, how we will pack it, what we will need, what we will buy in Las Vegas or on the road when we get there. Who knew that whether to bring toilet paper or buy it there, or whether there will be enough room for a netbook (to post on the blog) would create SUCH drama! We did find that we should have enough room for all our clothes, cooking implements (don't mention a Dutch Oven, we will NOT be using one).
All in all, we are well planned and in our heads and on paper we look good. How it looks when we are all packed (how many clothes does one person really need?) will be another story. We even taped off the floor with the dimensions of the back of the van to see how much we could fit. Ian and Dave even took braking quickly into account so if we have to stop on a dime we won't hit all the people in the back row with camping gear.
We have an awesome condo in San Fransisco, with a rooftop deck. Bought our tickets to Alcatraz, so are ready to go! Once there, we may lock one or more of the crew in a cell and quietly sneak away, though. Jean has already determined what clothes she is bringing, meanwhile I haven't even bought the clothes I am packing. Another adventure, since Dave loves to see me spend money!! We are figuring 7 days of clothes, with warmer clothes for evenings as Yellowstone still gets cool at night in July.
