As we prepare once again to trek across the country, I've learned a few things and we haven't even left yet.
1. It's much harder to leave your dog the second year than the first (when she was still doing annoying puppy things.) Can you say Niagra Falls? Oy. Didn't see that coming.
2. I can fit all of my leftover sock yarn as well as enough for 3 pairs of socks without even an extra bulge in the luggage. Much wiser than trying to haul a whole sweater from ocean to ocean.
3. It is possible to convince Mr. Sophanne that he does NOT need to pack Four. Pairs. of Shoes. for a ten day vacation. We've got it down to two. I may regret this later but at least he'll get a new pair of shoes out of it.
4. The cat doesn't look so bad when the dog's gone.
We're going to the zoo on Friday. If see you a Steve Martin/Herman Munster/Ralph Kramden sort of friendly looking guy playing around at the Seattle Zoo with 5 monkeys of his own, be sure to stop and say hi. I'll be the one carrying all the stuff. He'll be the one with no shoes.

Happy trails to you! You'll get back in time for blackberry season here on the mountain! (hint hint). Have a great trip!
Have a great trip! Maybe you will get some new and wonderful souvenir yarn, too!?
Oh, have a great trip!
I'd like to be in Seattle, just to see you doing your best impression of a pack animal with a shoeless man in tow.
Have a wonderful trip!!! And, I completely understand about your pup. It doesn't get easier, but she'll be fine and you'll have a fabulous time!!!
you crack me up!!!!!!
LOL! have a great time.
Sounds like fun. Sock yarn, you say? You should definitely cast on a Baktus - awesome mindless travel knitting.
My hubs is OCD about shoes too - what up with that, anyway?
YOU convinced HIM not to take 4 pairs of shoes?!!! That's funny! Isn't it usually the other way around? Now, Ms. Bag Ho, how many Namaste bags did you take?
Hope you have a great trip and that Mr. Sophanne's feet don't get too many blisters!
