We’re off to Hawaii tomorrow morning. We’ve booked a Lyft for a 5am pickup, so I want to finish up early tonight.

Yesterday, I claimed we’d done our packing; I spoke too soon.

We decided that we’d like to try to do a MaunaKea stargazing trip, which meant bringing warmer and bulkier clothing along. Which meant having to use a larger suitcase. Which meant repacking. Which gave us the opportunity to bring along a few more things. :-)

I’m going to quit before I have any more bright ideas.

The JCC is trying to encourage members to come in and exercise this month – if you workout there eight times during February, you get some merch. We usually work out there twice a week, which would make it easy to qualify – but next week, we’ll be in Hawaii.

So we got up early and worked out this morning before Torah Study; it wasn’t a bad way to start Shabbat.

After Torah Study, we took a walk to the nearby Amazon Locker and picked up the remote case I’d mentioned in Thursday’s blog entry. The case provides much-needed bulk, friction, and visibility for the Samsung remote, which I hope not to have to fish out of the couch again!

One advantage of going to Hawaii in February is that there’s very little overlap between the clothes we’ll be wearing there and what we’re wearing here, so we were able to pack almost everything this afternoon (we have a Lyft scheduled for 5am on Monday, another reason we got up early this morning). It feels very strange to be packed so far in advance!
