The final countdown

Goodbyes are said and I'm putting the final touches on our packing.  It looks like a closet exploded in my hallway...which has been converted into a suitcase staging area.  Early to bed tonight and then an early wake up tomorrow.  I'm rewriting the saying, "The early bird catches the worm."  It will now read "The children who get up early, goes for a run, swim, and playground play will sleep for momma on the plane...hopefully!"   I am also going to make a valiant attempt to get in bed prior to 2 AM tonight.   Fingers crossed that everyone gets some sleep.
