Sleepless in Chicago

It was really hard to get some sleep last night, even after making major lists with J, I still could not wind my mind down.  I am excited, nervous and the list of things to do before we leave next week keeps growing.  The big goal today is airline tickets, we have an agency working on it but we have not gotten the itinerary yet. I also need to start listing out what we need to bring from what we want to bring.  It is pretty expensive to check bags internationally and our goal is 3 carry ons (one each) and one checked bag.  Not sure if I can do it, but going to try.  The other big thing we have to do today is contact the bank to order "new money" - crisp, unwrinkled, never used bills.  Anyone who has done IA adoption knows that they won't exchange money that does not look perfect.
