And So It Begins

Suitcase Number One
Destination: San Francisco
Needed: Friday and Saturday
Contents: Slacks, blouses, amenities, and general stuff I will need for two days at a reading conference in San Francisco (contains evidence of student work...and I remembered to pack underware!). Includes one set of workout clothes because I am an eternal optimist and one dress that I may wear to Saturday's Dinner Event (see suitcase #2), or I may not...because I will be, after all, in San Francisco, and I may have to go shopping.

Suitcase Number Two
Destination: San Diego Airport Pickup and then Coronado
Needed: Saturday
Contents: One pair of black pumps. One pair of silver sandals. Faux Fur Coat, Jewelry. To be filled with other items I decide I may want to wear and which I desperately try to describe to Walter, before demanding that he hand the phone to DramaGirl because the girl knows where EVERYTHING I own is! To be delivered to me when I arrive in San Diego Saturday afternoon so that I can finish dressing in the airport or hotel ladies room. (oh yes, I'll take pix).

Suitcase Number Tree
Destination: Huntington Beach - Surf City 1/2 Marathon
Needed: Sunday Morning (about 4am)
Contents: Every, last, imaginable item I might potentially need to run a 1/2 marathon in every, last, imaginable kind of weather. Does not currently contain the Garmin (plugged into a wall and charging) or iPod (which is with me)

Wish me luck this weekend, cuz I'm on my way to do a different kind of Tri. 3 events-3 cities-3 days. I can do this!

  4. Have a safe, fun weekend! May all your bags show up in the right spots-I'd hate to have to read how you had to run the 1/2 in those black pumps and faux fur!!
