Most of the to-dos are done, except break out a clearer daily agenda.  I usually get pretty detailed in scheduling, as not to miss anything or waste time.  We agreed to not get too overzealous on this trip.  We'll spend some time between now and Thursday, organize places of interest by area, and assign them a day, and that's it.  Very unlike this project manager, but I'm on vacation, and I gotta learn to relax someday.

I haven't tackled the clothes packing yet, but when I do, I have some warm weather clothes to keep in mind for our oft-forgotten second leg to Arizona.  Note too the called audible of the D40.  I just bought a bag for it specifically, but the whole thing puts me over the top with my carry-on, and frankly, I'll break it on a trip like this.  (This is why I can't have nice things.)  Besides, I'm trying to learn from the Japanese and be light.
