So tonight I started packing for the cruise. Well more like organizing. I have to head down to my mom’s on Sunday with the dogs, so I need to start thinking about what I need now. Yeah I could call the BF and say “Oops forgot this!” but I’d rather not.
Every year I ALWAYS over pack. Well actually I pack things I don’t wear or in the case of last year, didn’t fit! I’ve made sure i’m not wasting space with that this year. I try and pack and have a clean shirt for each day, though every year I always say to myself “Why didn’t I just cut this in half and do laundry on the ship?” Maybe this year I’ll do that, we’ll see. The idea of having to do laundry on vacation sucks.
I have my stack of school work to take with me too. Yes I’m taking it. Every year I bring it, only a few times have I ever done anything with any of it. This year I really want to try and at least do an hour of some kind of school work a day. Of course when you add trying to watch 2 hours of soaps a day, updates related to it . . . the vacation aspect seems to be completely lost and I’m paying to sit in a floating hotel and do what I do at home! Still, I really need to try and do some work and the lack of internet will help a LOT. Plus it doesn’t look like we will be doing many shore exercesions, so we’ll be on the ship a lot this year. I’m thinking an hour in the morning after breakfast or right before dinner I will dedicate to school work. We shall see! My BF will be more than happy to do nothing in a deck chair, Keith i’ll just throw my PSP at and say here play. That way I can do what I need 🙂
We still have not found out squat about the police incident last night from the earlier blog. Tried googling our town and trying to find a police or crime blotter, no luck. It might be in the paper next week, though we won’t be here. Alas we will never know what was going on probably.

PS Whatever happened, it wasn’t important enough to make the local news. The big story on the news tonight was the 4 minutes of snow we got mid-day. I kid you not, that was the lead-in story tonight.
I always over-pack too, for the same reason. I just know that if I don’t take that shirt or those jeans, I’m going to wish I had! Randy laughs at me and shakes his head, but it works for me. I can make do with 2 or 3 pairs of shoes, but I need multiple clothing options. I dress according to moods, and I can be moody. *G* I do know how to pack lightly when I need to, though.
Good luck with your sorting and packing. You seem to have budgeted your time well for school work on the cruise. Such a smart guy! I’m so excited for you. :0)
It could be a license check ! We have those on both sides of the streets here, and they barricade the roads on both sides and have drivers stop and show license. Also they could be looking for a fugitive on the loose or something of that nature.
Hope you have fun on your cruise !
Have a great vacation
Have fun and don’t forget us when you get back. We want pictures and stories. 🙂
