Two Days 'Til China

Monday night we have to have the car packed, ready for the drive to Seattle early Tuesday morning. We will catch our plane to Beijing and on to western China, as we follow the Silk Road. Usually, by this time, one would and should have a well thought out list typed up and at the ready to make sure nothing important is forgotten. Not this year. Chaos reigns right now and all I have is a pile of clothes, toiletries, cameras, adapter plugs, lots of medicines and none of it is in the suitcases yet. Not a good sign.
