Suitcase on a bed

So, you guys each did another post, and so now I feel obligated to add one also.
I have put my open suitcase on the bed in the spare room, and everytime I run across/use/buy something that should go along to Europe, I will put in in/near the suitcase on the bed. Then it should all be there in ten days, ready to put in. If the pile of stuff looks bigger than the suitcase, I will have to remove items. So much for planning. Did pick up some foreign currency also.
Did some research at www.voyage.gc.ca, and have included in my little black book, embassy and consulate numbers for each place we go, in case of potential problems bigger than all of us.
So far, so good. More later when something actually happens.
