I received my staging email on Friday, but by the time I checked my email I couldn’t do anything about it (D.C. office was closed by then). I was informed by someone in our group that they aren’t going to be able to book our flights yet because the person in charge of that won’t be back until Tuesday or Wednesday. By now I’m pretty used to things not going according to plan. 
So now it’s the mad rush to figure out what to bring and not bring, to make sure to leave sufficient info behind for those that need it. I’ve waited quite awhile for this time to get here, so it’s quite surreal.
Anyhow, gotta go work on some more lists! Hope everyone is having a good start to 2009!
