Too much stuff...

Clothes should pack much better than they do. I have seen where I could vacuum seal my clothes, somehow reducing the air to nothing to maximize the space in my luggage. The outcome, I am sure, would be a very small suitcase with the density of lead. I am not quite to that stage. Tonight was to be the practice run to see if the suitcase I use for 3-4 day trips would be sufficient for 16 days oversees -- and with enough potential to carry home the requisite gifts. Instead, I ended up grilling salmon and watching the Reds eek out a win in Arizona. Oh, and if Nicole is reading this -- I spent so much time cleaning the house that I didn't have time to pack.

Luckily(?), the only requests so far have to do with a rumor that pearls are cheap in Hong Kong and therefore I must imagine that if the pearl is big enough to cause packing issues that it might slightly exceed my budget. Mom wants a black pearl which is nice as I wouldn't want to get the normal everday easy to find pearl -- no I want a challenge.
