Early Packing

I am going on a trip next week, but I am already thinking about what I need to pack into my bag. I tend to over pack, but I've always thought it was better than being without something. Can you imagine getting somewhere and realizing that you don't have any underwear?

I checked the airline's website to see if I can check in any bags, and to see how many bags I can actually carry on. I haven't gone on a flight in years. It must of been four years ago when I actually set foot in a plane. 

I just found out that it cost $25 to check in a bag. What on Earth? That is a small fortune. To avoid a fee, you can just bring carry ons. They even limit the size of your carry ons.

That really isn't a problem for me except that I now have to worry about not carrying liquid more than 3 oz. Oh boy, that means I have to find small containers for my essentials. 

I realize that it's too early to think about packing, but I'm just so excited. I can't wait! California has been having 70 degree weather, and it'll be interesting to see what winter is like outside of Southern California. :D
