Nope....I havent even pulled the suitcase down yet.
But then again, I am in Florida and it is in the upper 80s and low 90s so I am currently wearing what I will be wearing there, so I can't pack yet anyways! Hahahahahaha
Sweetie Pie plans on running a test pack this weekend. We know we're taking fewer clothes but we also want to take the "good" camera, maybe a mosquito net for the doghouse and I need to take my flop costume or recreate it down there... We'll unpack after the test pack though because I hate leaving the big flippers all torqued up longer than they need to be...
Packed and ready to roll. :D
Jim – Donna & Spottycatz – woohoo!!!
I'm almost entirely packed, I have not yet attempted to CLOSE these 2 carry-on suitcases yet because I have a few more things I still need to put in there...:confused:
It's gonna be a tight squeeze, I may need to employ the ziplock bag method... I have a box of them on standby.
I figure I can make Markus stand on the suitcases, while I use all my strength to pull the zipper across.
Yeah, it'll be fine...
Almost there. lol:o
Marley - You haven't pulled the suitcase down yet??
Well, you live in the sunshine state close to a gorgeous beach and only a one hour flight away from Jamaica. (lucky!!)
That would be like me packing a week and a half in advance to fly to San diego. :D
Giurigay – Markus and I are having the “Should we bring the GOOD camera?” debate right now
Followed by: “Then Where are we going to FIT the good camera?”
NO, don't tell me this! Suitcases out, everything laid out, kinda. Weekend, get ready for Easter Dinner, egg hunt, grandkids (why did I clean Saturday), Re-clean my house after Easter (7grandkids) why did I have to do the squirt gun fight? Work all week, Monday, mow yard, Tuesday, facial, Wednesday, Mani & Pedi, Thursday, Hair appt., Friday, Bank, Saturday leave house for airport at 3:45AM. I will pack Tuesday night, can't mess up my Mani... Done! I leave in 5 days............
Jim /Donna - there is so much love in every photo of you too.....I admire this so much and aspire for this in my life (soon lol).
Started packing but realized its just not gonna fit in one giant and one small suitcase so picking up my sister's giant suitcase tomorrow so I can go with two giant ck'd bags at the weight limit (hopefully). Stuffed duffle carryon with laptop and purse (really a beach bag to more "stuff" lol). Yikes....but washing clothes today and stacking things for final packing.
Juli - I feel ya - just did my to do list (in a Word table lol - I am a nut lol). key to aunt to come water plants, print travel docs, pup to vet for shots/grooming then drop off on friday w/sitter; bank for cash and notice of out of country; pedicure Thurs; prescriptions filled (long reach); order cab for Sat morning at.....wait for it......3:45 AM !

So...Thanks for that reminder!:)
My pleasure :-)
I also found out I can have my ATM limit increased before I go so I can withdraw more than $300 at a time - then change it back when I return.......
I was just about to post the same thing .... For me, it always has to be the night before. I'd say I'm pretty thorough for most reaches, including writing a list, but whenever I remind myself about something last minute, I always forget it.Quote:

Unfortunately, my uncle passed Friday night, and that's got me and my family down...the service is Thursday...so 'til just now I haven't thought too much about the fact that I need to pack.
But he'd not want any crying...or messing around with anyone's fun...so:
I am packing this Saturday. Have the day to do it.
Before then...wow what a list: gym (daily), Jacob's rugby match (Sunday), haircut (Wed), mani/pedi (Fri or Sat), tanning (almost daily), call CC and bank (Sunday), set up the household for the ex-mom-in-law and my mom to come and stay with the kids (Sunday), do a huge grocery shop (Sunday), shop for a spare pair of sunglasses (Saturday), band#2 rehearsal (Wed), two shows (Fri band #1)...(Tues band #2)...after home from that...check bags BC the next morning I flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Dudes. This is ONNNNNNN.
:eek:well...one bag packed out of 4!..work all week...Andy has pneumonia,3 antibiotics and im getting it under control, working everyday, mani pedi and a hair cut,car wash..and those who are on my facebook have seen the live makeover on video from little parker who thought i needed one before I left (actually he just wanted to get into my cool bathroom cabinet)so my make up is done for the month..lol... When I leave which entails a 5 hour drive to the minneapolis airport, OH and I just got a phone call that a big tree fell across our driveway at the farm:( so chain saw in hand will remove that sucker after work for the next 3 days...then mani...i dont want to wreck that! Soooo.....I will be throwing curling irons etc and clothes in the car and pack on my way to the airport!:D
I have packed and un packed..packed and un pack..I don't want to pack everything I did last year but I am...damm where is my genie when I need her ?
Sorry to hear Andy is sick Patty. Wish him well...he'll need his stamina NEXT WEEK!
And where is the manscaping? You did say you were on the prowl for a visa, and this step cannot be missed.Quote:

Bob, I usually take just a few sundresses. They are smaller and you can wear them again if you only use them for dinners. Of course, if she doesn't have any she'll need to go shopping!!! LOL
The post I put up yesterday discussing the search for a visa was deleted very quickly by the powers that be, but it was...as they say...a comprehensive guide to finding a Jamaican wife in 12 days.Quote:
