I just need to get through tomorrow and pack my bags and I am ready to head off to Tucson.
Of course I will be getting up at the crack of dawn on Friday to catch the 7:10am flight out of Savannah...but hey, it's a frequent flyer ticket so I'm not complaining. The only down side is that I won't arrive in Tucson until 4:30pm...I have a really short connection time in Charlotte (just 50 minutes) and a really long connection wait in Phoenix (almost 4 hours)...but it's so worth the final outcome when I get to see my favorite family...The Blanchards! :)
Believe it or not I have not packed my suitcase yet, but I do have a bunch of stuff piled up next to the suitcase. I figure that since it's a relatively short trip, I'll really only be there 3 full days, I don't have to pack a whole lot and I do have a packing list done, so it's really just a matter of tossing everything into my bag and zipping it closed.
So now the big luggage question is to check my bag or carry-on. If I carry-on I have to put all my liquids (toiletries) into one 1-gallon ziplock bag. And I can't put each bottle into a smaller ziplock bag...so the "spill factor" is really getting to me. See, if I have to put all the bottles into just one bag my gut is telling me at least one of those bottles will crack open and then everything in the bag will be goopey. But if I check the bag and put everything as I usually do in individual ziplock bags I run the risk of my bag not showing up in Tucson when I do, especially with just a 50 minute connection time in Charlotte! This isn't the end of the world since I'm staying with friends and I can always put extra stuff in the bag I do carry on, it's just the inconvenience of not having my stuff. At the moment I'm actually leaning toward putting everything into the one ziplock bag and carrying in all on. But I may change my mind before Friday morning! :)
Well, I hope that I will have some fun story to post back here when I return from my trip.
Hola Tucson!
