Calm Before the Storm

It's almost time, in one more day we depart for Central NY and start our 14-day vacation. This is only the second time I've ever taken this much time off consecutively. The first was a trip to the UK last June/July and based off that trip, I can say for sure that it is worth saving up my time off. Tonight I will probably double, triple, and quadruple check my baggage, confirming I have included the basic necessities (printed reservations, passports, USB chargers, map of pubs in Brussels).
