Tuesday, August 17 - Making Progress on To Dos

I know some of you may have difficulty opening the Packing Checklist.  Thanks to feedback from followers, I have also posted the checklist at Scribd.com and added the location to the link titles.

Status Update:
Went to doctor today - obtained prescriptions for the year - Check
Moved casual slacks to my staging closet - Check
Sorted travel books and maps into Give Away, Keep at home, Take to France - Check,
Put way too many in the Take to France stack - Check (Whoops!), better go through that stack again in a few days. 


I also cleaned some recently added items out of my closet so I can at least see my other luggage.  We typically travel with only a backpack and a day or computer pack.  Because we will need school and dress clothes as well as casual, we will need to check a bag or two each.  I say two because we do not even own large luggage - our mantra is Carryon or bust! 

I do know to be sure to pack only items that I won't need for a few days in the checked bag and never check anything that is really required or that has sentimental value.  Once a bag leaves your hands, you never know where it will actually end up.  Because we know that, we have been pretty fortunate - never really lost a bag, only received them a few days delayed. 

I also visited the post office again and the snow bird "premium" service will not work for Europe, but I may have found an alternative that will work for us.  If you are planning such a trip, check with your local post office, then brainstorm alternatives.   

I hear my sudoku calling - that's it for tonight.
