15 minutes until the shuttle gets here. I'm all packed, and bringing just a ridiculous amount of stuff. Usually I'm a light packer, but something snapped in my head and I had a shoe panic, and am not willing to bet on buying too many things in my size there and just packed like a squirrel preparing for winter. Multiple activities don't help. I have 3 specialized shoes: 2 for dancing, 1 for rock climbing. I decided against bringing my own scuba equipment, and will just rent there. May regret that when it comes to the mask, but something had to go. That and the 10 or so minidisks that I seem to have misplaced.

Wish me happy travels. When next I write, I'll be only 7 degrees off the equator.
