Excellent post! Concise and clear!
We were debating with my mom all the outfit changes Catherine will do on a daily basis; with the exception of Day 1, when I believe she will change 4 times, the rest of the tour seems to have 2-3 daily changes.
I just cannot wait for the fashion! :D

Dearest Elizabeth,
I honestly don't know how you do it! I am early waiting for your fabulous posts every day of this royal tour. You are, as always, doing an excellent job...I think that Kate should hire you as her fashion coordinator/stylist. You are the best!!!
