WHAT TO TAKE . . .
WHAT TO LEAVE BEHIND . . .

FLORIDA

I'd been accumulating things in our "Florida Dreamin'" boxes
(formerly our "Arizona Dreamin'" boxes);
now it was time to make some final decisions . . .

Pam S measured her mini-van, which was the same model we rented,
and I figured that we had room for only eight totes,
once the dogs' wire crate and Rico's car seat were installed.

Maybe a mini-van isn't big enough?

Thanks to Pam S' gift of these vacuum-packing bags,
we were able to SQUEEZE many items together; our first attempt . . .

(in this package are: two bedspreads & four shams; three sets of sheets;
four placemats; four kitchen towels; several pairs of socks;
and I can't remember all what else, but I know it's lots!)

This was fun to do . . . doesn't take much to amuse us,
so we did some more . . .
