Here's an idea:
Go ahead and pack for the trip. Make a practice run. Yes, drag out the suitcases and valises, get the passport pouch, and the 'fanny pack', and pack. Leave some room for those tools we'll be dividing next Sunday at the meeting, but go ahead and do it.
Why?
Because you shouldn't wait 'till the last minute before discovering you simply can't lug all your stuff around an airport. Because you should know what you're taking as a carry-on and what you're checking. Because the last minute is no time for surprises.
So. Pack. Carry or roll your luggage around the block if you can (or down the street a few hundred feet). Sure, the neighbors will think you're crazy, but that may be the perfect time to share your testimony about why you're taking this trip, and then you can ask them to pray for this effort.
Besides, you'll be better prepared for the trip.
P.S. Don't forget: Take those things that you absolutely cannot live without on the plane with you as carry on luggage! Also, take at least some of the 'bare necessities' with you in your carry on luggage.
