Pre-Packing & Final Planning

This is a very busy time of year.  I just returned from a week in New Orleans attending Waste Expo.  Liz is wrapping up the school-year and the kids are taking there last round of tests.  In addition, Austin heads to the City of Austin tomorrow for the Texas State solo competition.

With everything else going on, pre-packing and final-planning for the trip today helps to put everyone into a vacation state of mind:

-  The suitcases are out & ready

-  The take-along food is all purchased (prepared and frozen if necessary)

-  The cashiers check for the balance of the rental has been drawn

-  Notes are made for last minute purchases (i.e. Sudafed)

-  Re-confirmation emails are sent to the rental agency, the cart provided and the dive shop.
