It's official get out the suitcase day!


Recommended Posts

96 days from now we leave for our cruise. I use the spare bedroom closet for "staging." As I buy things, I hang them up there. I have most of the things I need ready to go. I've even bought a few things for the rest of the family, even though they are all grown and don't live here at my house. When I see something I know they would like, I pick it up for them. About a week before the cruise, I'll lay it all out on the spare bed and start folding and looking at the piles. Some things get dry cleaned after each cruise and put back in the spare closet to await their next cruise. After all the arrangements are made for the flight, cruise, excursions, pre-cruise hotel, airport parking and transportation, the packing becomes the focus. I usually spend a couple of hours with my Grandson shopping. He's 23 but would totally just throw in a few pairs of shorts and swimsuits and a few pairs of slacks and shirts. He seems to leave out the part about shoes, and does anything still fit and match. I'm SO ready to leave. It's gray, rainy and FREEZING outside.

Awesome. We are more than a year out but I've already started planning...on paper only of course.

 

Have a great trip.

 

You sound like me. I have two vacs this year and two next year that I am making lists on.:p
