I’m awful with details. I’m a bad flyer, too, and in my likely state of freak-out as I take off on Saturday, it will be a very good idea to have nothing left up in the air that I could forget. I’m making my list now. Feel free to skip.

    Heh. I’m taking the train down to Chicago for a three day tax seminar, and am about to start exactly the same type of list. Not so much a bad traveler, but a forgetful, peri-menopausal woman!

    What does it say that I’ve already scouted out the nearest Starbucks? (There’s a coffee shop with Starbucks coffee IN the hotel – yay, Westin Chicago!)

    Charger for the pod?

    Garmin and charger?

    You look like you are set! Just wanted to wish you a great race (you don’t need any luck – you’ve done the work!) and safe travels. Have a fantastic time! I can’t wait to hear about it.
