I am making this list for myself, but others might find it useful, so I'm encluding it here.  Feel free to print it out and use it as an checklist.

Please email with other suggestions!

Mark each item with your name as you pack it!  Just so your stuff comes back if you leave it somewhere.  If possible, mark it with your street address -- for instance, we're at 5:10 and Mercury.
