Whirling Dervish

So, I'm leaving today, and that familiar panic has set in. I looked at my itinerary, and realized that I'm leaving at 6:45pm, not 10:00pm. Whoops.

I also haven't started packing, but that's normal for me. I travel light (Perhaps because I pack at the last minute. Hmmm. I've never thought of that before.), so I'm not terribly concerned. I do need to figure out *how* I'm going to pack. Meaning, I have a week of formal events surrounding Salma's wedding, 2 weeks of dusty, dirty traveling in who-knows-where, and I just saw yesterday that the temperature drops about 35 degrees at night - so I need to bring some warm things. How to pack all of that in something that will be convenient to carry during the dusty, dirty travels? I guess I'll just throw it all into a backpack, and then send the gowns and heels home when I'm through with them (leaving room to be filled with interesting trinkets found along the way....!).

I just found out that "blog" is synonymous with "procrastination." I'm out of here.

Hi dear Margot,

glad to read your blog. It's really a headache thing to pack like that. But you have thought out a good idea which I used to apply in my traveling--post the used stuff back home while I am going on my trip. Hahaha.. We are similar in some way. no wonder we are good friends! Please send my best regards to Salma and her husband. wish them have a happy life together. How about you? I am ready for your wedding.

a lot of love!
