One week to go.....Today I practiced packing everything I need to take to Japan into my ONE suitcase. Casual clothes, professional clothes, outfits for cool days, outfits for warm days, and, of course, lots of presents! Amazingly I think it is all going to fit. Now I just hope I can manuever my 70 pound suitcase, my 15 pound backpack, and my 5 pound briefcase. (Did I mention five pairs of shoes?)
