Help!

I'm supposed to leave my house in fifteen minutes and am decidedly not ready. I thought I had everything under pretty good control--after all, I was fitting ALL of my stuff in two medium-sized suitcases--when my mom checked the airline regulations and we discovered that no single bag can weigh more than 70 pounds. And guess what? One of them was 74.1 lbs. I would go on but as you can imagine I mostly need to get out of my house, and not be writing this update.

See you next from across the pond and just south of the equator!
