I started packing. I leave for Madrid Friday, August 30, so I know it’s time. To give a little background, I can bring only what fits in two 50 pound suitcases. I’m packing for four months in two suitcases. Just the thought of it makes me worried.

Technically I started yesterday. However, this is as far as I got (laying two scarves on the guest bedroom bed).

Today I added a few more things, still to the guest bedroom. Next step: suitcases.
