Twas the Night Before Christmas…

and all through the house, people were packing and weighing and repacking and topping off and double checking and in some cases…repacking.

Heading into the big day we have it all in four duffels, two rolling suit bags — and the carry-ons.  240 pounds of sheer necessity to get us through the dog days of summer in Athens, flurries in Zermatt, and cool drizzle in London.  It’s a lot of stuff to haul around for a month — but where will we put the souvenirs?
