Thanks to a leisurely dinner with my brother, watching the Boston Pops fireworks on TV, and then getting caught up in a Dirty Jobs marathon, I finally closed my eyes around 2 am or so...maybe later...and woke up 4 hours later to do the final touches.
Stuff...compressed.
Stuff...compressed.

Given that I'm using a full-size camping backpack, and that I ended up packing fairly light (taking out some items I didn't think I really needed), my backpack is /maybe/ half full.  It comes in around 25 pounds or so...which is a bit more than I'd be able to take without checking the bag on some budget airlines in Europe.  It actually doesn't close quite right on the top, since the stuff doesn't reach up to the top of the bag, even when I crank the straps! 

(yes, I'm pretty proud of that.)

Even my backpack is fairly empty...and even though I have this feeling like I've forgotten something, I'm sure I can buy it over there.

OK - time to tweak my fantasy baseball teams a bit and then head to the airport...after a quick stop to get some more deodorant, since I remember having trouble finding a brand I liked last time I was in Europe.

Happy July 5th!
