Tomorrow is the day!

It's 9 pm and we leave at 8 am...what is wrong with this picture? The bags are empty and half the stuff that is going into them is scattered on the floor...where did today go? I had all day to do this.
Here is the dress I'm wearing to the wedding...it's got cap sleeves and the sweater is for if/when it gets chilly. The pic doesn't do the dress justice..it's pretty cool looking with all the patterns on it front and back.
And these are the best part! These sweet shoes are so comfortable! I put them on in the store and knew right away that I could walk all over St Petersburg if I had to in these! Love the fat buckle straps too...and they are shiny!!!
Greece is going to be mid-90s all week and then St Petersburg will be in the mid-60s so packing is challenging...hence the mess we are still in. Will have to get right on that!

Where does the time go???

It's already August 15th and we are 11 days away from our trip to Greece and Russia! We are so excited and busy getting ready every chance we get. Here's my to do list still:
  • Get shoes for the wedding
  • Find a jacket to go over my dress for the wedding (dress has short sleeves and it might get chilly)
  • determine opaque tights or sheer nylons with my dress for the wedding (probably depends on the shoes right?)
  • find converter for hair straight-iron for europe and russia power outlets (must do this...must have hair straight-iron capability!)
  • pare down multiple tops...can't take them ALL! How many white tops do I need anyway?
  • Get sunscreen, benedryl, ibuprofen, anti-diarrheal (just bein' real here folks), aloe, face wipes, and a few things that I haven't thought of yet
  • Get with the little girl across the street for pet care details (she's so in love with Mocha that I feel very confident in her desire to care for the pets while we're gone)
  • MAYBE buy a new swimsuit...been looking but it's kind of lower priority since I have two that I COULD wear...and we all know how fun it is to shop for swimwear...could do a whole blog just about that and not cover the subject!

Well, I think that's it. But I'm sure to be wrong and leave out something very important like making sure we have our passports as we rush off to the airport at the last minute! Going to put our passports in my suitcase right now!
