I'm mostly packed. At the moment I'm wondering what I'm going to do for the layover in JFK. I contacted a friend in New York but I get conflicting information on how easy (or not) it is to get in and out of JFK to Manhattan, etc. Being that I don't actually like cities all that much, I think I may just skip it, and stay in the airport and wait for my flight. My checked bag weighs a ton. OK, 35 lbs
