We finally finished up our course of shots, now we're all set against whatever might attack us on our trip.  For those of you counting, we've got 22 short sleeps to go until our 34-hour flight takes off.

As for the shopping, Michelle went pretty crazy at Lush, they have all kinds of pre-dehydrated things that she felt would be ideal for the trip.  Lotion that comes in a cake, dry deodorant, shampoo bars.   Other last minute purchases include socks (for Michelle as she doesn't actually own any) and plastic cross-stitch needles to avoid trouble in airport security.  Michelle's plan of taping metal cross-stitch needles to her hairpins was vetoed by Susan who preferred to take as little risk as possible at LAX.
