Rope sandals (I never wear socks with them)

I hate packing for a trip...

All the planning (paperwork, keys, ID)...

Remembering that Nana was tight when she said you should start two days ahead, at least (which would be today, naturally, in this case)...

Figuring out which luggage works best (I bought new luggage last week at Target, so there'll be a "fresh meat" factor at least.)...

Trying to calm down my traveling companion...

...and most importantly, figuring out what shoes to bring.
