Packing is a Nightmare!

I consider myself to be a bit of a procrastinator and once again this has proven to be correct.  Here I sit with less than 24 hrs. till departure and I just finished packing (I started around 3:00pm this afternoon).  With a little help from my mom I have managed to fit most of my life and or belongings into 2 huge suitcases.  I have my shoes (every girl's necessity) packed into a carry on duffle bag.  With American Airlines you get 1 free checked bag, as long as it's within the 50 lb weight limit.  The second bag is $50 and then if any are overweight that's an additional $50...what a rip off, eh?!  Needless to say I'll be paying an an overweight fee.

I'm sure the airport tomorrow will be extra fun going through security and such considering it's the holidays and Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of the year.  I'll fly out of DFW and have one layover in Chicago.  I've always wanted to go to Chicago I will have to say I'm a bit saddened that my first trip will be confined to the airport.  But I'm holding out hope there is a decent pizza place that will serve up some Chicago style pizza!  After my couple hour layover in Chicago I will fly straight to Paris landing at aprox. 8:45 am Paris time (there is a 7 hour time difference from Texas to Paris).

I'm gonna try to get some sleep on the plane so I won't be too incredibly jet lagged upon my arrival.  I may be too excited though to get any rest, that's usually how it goes for me.

I leave you with some food for thought...is it sad that one of my last meals here in Texas was Taco Bueno?! Goodness I'm gonna miss my TexMex!
