Well, surprisingly, everything I had laid-out to put in my Grand Tour pack FITS! I think a lot of is can be credited to my military background; we ROLL everything, and it makes more space!

I am pretty sure the rest of my stuff will fit in the saddlebags, tourpack, and extra little compartments.

And I am sure I will be mailing some things home also along the way.

Also, Larry and I met with Don for lunch in Avon. I knew something was wrong as soon as he walked into the restaurant. Apparently, Don's mom is now is hospice. SO, he has decided not to go on the trip for fear she might pass while he is gone. So, it's just Larry and I now. From 4 bikes to 2 bikes, and Larry originally wanted 6 people to go.

Actually, it might work out better this way, much as we will miss Don on the trip though. I guess I will be the only "model" for the magazine articles now. Can you say "cheese"?
