We leave first thing Wednesday (man is that going to be a crazy long day).  Tuesday, being Election Day I figure the husband will be glued to the TV all night.  Needless to say, I figure we have to basically have everything gathered and be pre-packed before bed on Monday.

Of course, there’s still stuff that needs to be done…

• buy cat food and cat litter
• do the last load of laundry (no promises here) – not gonna happen
  
• strip the bed
• add light to a timer
• move extra lamp out of office to front rooms
• organize the heaping mess of prizing – half-assed, but done
• pay bills
• call bank re: vacation travel (in the past, Wells Fargo has been known to cut us off while on vacation – simple phone call fixes it, but what a PITA)
• write & send interview questions to MG
• get battery for travel clock (hell, first I need to find it) – can’t seem to find it, guess we buy a new one *sigh* DONE
• touch up roots
• bring in luggage from the garage
• get brows done
• vacation messages on phone & email
• organize all the computer equipment to go with
• organize my iTunes library for my new-to-me iPod – work in progress, seems I’ve hit a glitch or 3
• do last minute work regarding contest event marketing and thank you’s

I think that’s it.  It’s totally doable, just a pain in the ass.  Funny how it’s always the little things that take all the time and effort when going out of town.
