I sit here finishing off my All-American day with my favorite American activity: football viewing! Carolina Panthers vs. New England Patriots (okay, okay, it's only preseason, but I'm clinging to what I can get).
Another great part of my All-American day was eating at Mac's Speed Shop, the place with the best BBQ in Charlotte. I had a Texas beef brisket sandwich, which may be even better than the 'que. Also had a piece of bourbon pecan pie with a scoop of ice cream (also delicious), so I probably had my fair share of saturated fat today.
So today was the official packing day. My mom was acting very worried, as she usually does when some air travel is going on. Both of my bags are ~48 pounds, so I am pushing the 50 pound per bag, but I think I'm safe. My real worry is that I will have a problem with some TSA super-bureaucrat who has a problem with me counting my backpack as my "personal item" that goes along with my carry-on bag. Still, I have travelled with bigger carry-ons before, so I should be all right.
My highlight of the day (other than the beef brisket) was realizing that I was going to be stuck in a middle seat, but doing online check in I was able to switch it to an aisle. That saved me a lot of discomfort.
My plan to document my travel day is taking a lot of pictures and keeping a Microsoft Word file done liveblog style, so that I can just copy and paste. Hopefully that is possible (in other words, hopefully I remember).

once again, you confuse being worried with anticipating and avoiding problems...
you would NOT be happy to pay the weight overage charge, or have to repack your bags in the check in line!
