ONE MORE DAY TO GO!

I had our carpets cleaned this morning since it may be the last time we see them so beautiful! I am sure Stephen will contribute plenty of "color" to our light carpet ~ lol. I am still in shock that we are finally leaving! I think we have thought of everything we need to pack. Th liquid rule is a pain in the butt though. Seriously, 3 ozs. will not last that long! My poor dh has a favorite shaving cream and has to leave it behind.

Soooooo...not much to share today. I will certainly post later if I start having a panic attack over all my little worries. By the way ~ for those who may have traveled inernationally lately...how much time did you allow for getting through security and boarding the plane? The tickets say to arrive three hours ahead of time, but that seems like a bit much. Thanks!

***UPDATE*** Heidi...you are correct - I must have read the TSA rules a million times, but it just sank in that the 3 oz. rule is just for carry-ons! Uuughhh! What is wrong with me? :)

You are really at the end girl! I am so excited for you both.

I'm pretty sure the liquid rule is just for carry-ons. I thought you could have more than that in your checked luggage?? Anyways, both times we went to Guatemala, we had an early morning flight and when we went to the airport three hours early the ticket window wasn't even open yet!! I really didn't feel like there was any need to get there early, except to stand in line at the airline ticket counter. I guess it all depends on the time of day you leave and how busy your airport is. I am SO excited for you!! Have a wonderful trip...I cannot wait to see pictures of Stephen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were at O'Hare 3 1/2 hours early, we waited an 1-1/2 after getting through check-in/ Security, our flight left at 6pm, the lines were long at the check-in counter & the staff was really slow, security was a joke, I am one of those people who would rather have an hour or so to kill then have it be a close call. :-)

Couldn't be happier for you and your family, Dawn!!!!!!!!!! The next time I post, I'll most likely be able to call you a - MAMA (officially)!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 hours is plenty of time. Hang out in a restaurant if you get through quickly. Better to be a little early than freaking out that you will miss your flight. Have a safe flight.
