32 days, 11 hours for me.  Still collecting items to bring, but most of my lists are made.  Trying to get as much prepaid as possible.

I haven’t started gathering, list making, or packing anything yet, hahaha! I’ll probably start making lists in a week or 2.

Dying to be gone already! I'll be doing the lists and packing thing this weekend then enduring two and half days of work next week before I can escape!

I’m heading to the airport in six hours, then the wonderful three hours of doom at the airport followed by nine hours of “no-one can contact me” bliss...oh wait, there’s free wi-fi on board.

[Monica.Lake]

Just because it's free doesn't mean you have to use it.  Safe travels and see you next week!

i leave in about 3 days....

Random question for anyone not a newbie like me as I'm making my packing list. I just checked the 10 day forecast and see rain and cloudy weather with the sun coming out by Monday the 17th. How cold is it liable to be inside? I can layer, but I was curious. I'm from the bottom of Washington State and it was 79F/26C today.

I'm usually moving around so much that I don't need extra sleeves.

But sitting in the main talk auditorium with the A/C running it could get chilly. Mostly, depending on how many ppl are at the panel. So layers are good.

So you on Air Canada right?

Says someone sat on Galiano Island in the rain.

Can't believe we're almost there, con time!!!     As for what to wear, I found that my fleece does the trick keeping me warm in the con hall if the AC gets too cold and just right to wear under a light rain jacket when going outside with the temperature being around 16/17c now and for the rest of the week. It's light and easy to carry around if I get too hot.

I'm sitting looking at the rain now , a big change from the hot weather we've had in Vancouver for weeks. It was a sudden change from 28/29c last Wednesday to cooler cloudy weather the next day down to 17c. I have my lighter rain jacket and an umbrella which I will need now to walk to and from the B&B I'll be staying at. A bit of a pain this weather as it means I have extra stuff to carry with me during the day at the con.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it! As far as temperatures changing we've abruptly gotten colder in the last week too. I wonder if Mother Nature is trying to tell me fall is coming?  For me we went from 90-100F to 74-75F... roughly 32-37C down to about 23C... as of today. And yes, I'm using the Google converter because I can't convert F to C without it. Lol! I'm thankful the car shows both MPH and KPH... I just need to remember which to look at after the border crossing...
