Up, Down, Up, Down ..... Exhaustion!

Was that a crazy wired post late last night or what? I'm so tired. But here's the facts. I'm overnighting my visa application today, I've purchased my ticket and I'm leaving next Sunday, September 2, at 5:44 a.m. for Chicago and then on to Beijing, arriving at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, September 3.
I need to have a packing party......
Wanna come?
