Why do we leave everything to the last minute?

On today's to do list:

• Clean and pack away our camping gear, which we sadly do not have opportunity to use in Haiti
• Clean and pack away Ben's mountain bike
• Cut Ben's hair
• Clean downstairs bathroom, post-haircut
• Laundry, 3 loads
• Drop our little diesel Rabbit off at my parent's house
• Final internet downloads before we leave the land of fast internet
• Take one last hike in the woods
• Scour attic for Ben's health insurance information
• Call my grandmother
• Make lots of other calls
• Pack
• Weigh suitcases
• Re-pack
• Print flight itineraries 
• Rest up for our 4 AM departure for the airport. Who ever thought 5:50 AM flights were a good idea?

We both fly out tomorrow, but Ben is leaving me to hand-carry motorcycle tires and smuggle a kombucha scoby into Haiti on my own. He's headed to the Dominican Republic for a 2-day photo assignment for American Airlines' in-flight magazine. I'll be cuddling with Luna and cursing mosquitoes and our slow internet connection by tomorrow afternoon.

Pictures of our fun vacation month coming soon...
