Whew! 9 days until departure, and we finally have confirmations on all of our airline and hotel reservations.  And I used to think that planning state-side business trips was a pain.  Let's see...you can't say you have a child, or you won't get a room.  You have to say it's just the two of you, and then when you actually book the room, mention the child in the notes -- that's okay....   

But with all of that out of the way, and much of our other preparation complete, we're anxious to get going!
