Getting Packed

In and around Overland Park, United States

So packing...yeah this could be challenging.  Normally, when flying Delta you are allowed two 50 lb bags.  This is still the case.  Now I know you're thinking holy crap, is Patty taking 100 lbs of crap with her?  No, I'm not, but yes I probably could if I tried.

So back to the challenge.  The real problem lies with the small commuter flight we will be taking within Costa Rica towards the end of our trip.  This flight is with "Nature Air".  There's probably a reason you haven't heard of them.  They're small.  Literally.  Their planes are small and therefore I'm limited to 30 lbs of baggage and a 5 lb carry on.  For three weeks?  Yes, for three weeks.  I'm screwed.  No hair dryer, no laptop, no portable dvd player...none of the necessities all the rest of you would surely pack.

So I've packed my small bag and I'm set to go.  Wish me luck.

Oh and the only other thing we did to prepare for the trip was all Stu.  Pictures as follow...

After so many mornings of driving through the mess, the water main at 97th and wornall broke this morning, concrete buckled, big big mess. I, of course, took state line. Just wanted to let you know what you're missing.
