Definitely a good point. The whole "what to take" thing felt kind of complicated - my little sister had some very reasonable concerns about things that were both of ours vanishing into New England and never being available for her hypothetical kids (my mother, unhelpfully, kept saying "well, that was yours first", as if she hadn't spent fifteen years teaching me to compromise with my sister); the plan wherein I stay-at-home-parent for a couple of years involves major cuts to our travel budget, so we don't see ourselves visiting frequently; nobody has any idea what the meeple will actually want to play with (my best guess is that it will be utterly and annoyingly obsessed with our laptops, since it will see that they are *our* favorite "toys"). I ended up with a bunch of my favorite stuff that I'll enjoy when I'm playing with it. ::grin::
