Put your name on them. Put your name on everything! Fill lots of bobbins. Don't forget your sewing machine manual!
Start your "bug out" bag and check list now, so you won't be so frazzeled the night before your trip. Speaking of driving. Be sure your car is doing OK. Take jumper cables. Check your spare tire and tire pressure. Check oil and windsheid washer fluid etc. All the other suggestions are terrific. Your car will be full, but you will be prepared! Everyone will be amazed, especially if they have forgotten something that you can share....it is a terrible feeling to have left something important at home. Ask me how I know. I now make out a list long before I travel.
