A stop at the drugstore off the plane will take care of that. First things first!

But a new LOGBOOK

And, don't ever check your logbook in your luggage, on the same principle. You can replace your clothes, shoes, and makeup, but your logbook cannot be replaced so easily. Ever since a letterboxer in my area had his luggage lost by an airline, my logbook has travelled in my carry-on bag.

The luggage in this instance was eventually found and returned some time later, but better safe than sorry!

Ohh good point. I had jewelry stolen from checked bags before. Surely airline staff aren't interested in my logbook... ;) I think I might go put that in my backpack now just in case....

Also- So I had an idea for a stamp that would be fun to bring and plant....and I may or may not have started carving it at 1am last night. Then this morning I actually packed, and while waiting for the dryer to finish with my last bit of clothing.... I also carved a HH.....

I'll sleep on the plane.

we are going to Grateful Letterboxing in Andover, MA for 10 days, in our camper. we leave in 2 days. one would think i would have planned meals, gathered meds, packed camping supplies, etc. No.

the only meal i've planned is the one on Wednesday for 30 people. they're kinda expecting it.

what is currently in the camper (that doesn't normally live there):
LTC's to trade, my letterboxing bag, boots, all the nightboxing stamps and seriously cool series plant stuff, the other series i'm planting at our campsite, every clue in Harold Parker State Forest i haven't gotten yet (2 years' worth of event - y'all have been busy ;-), extra MA mystery clues i solved over the last 3 years, and clues for the place we're staying *before* the event.

yeah. i'm addicted.

My husband laughed at me when I packed my entire wedding ensemble, and my matron of honor's dress (as well as my logbook and sig stamp.... markers and ink went in the suitcase), in my carry on. I told him that I was NOT losing my wedding dress in the dark abyss of lost luggage just a few days before my wedding in CA!
