And there is so much to do! I never would have thought it. last September we went on the magic for a week and it was so easy. Pack, load car, meet kids at bus, drive, bet on boat, sail...
Then there is this year... Find DIS, join a meet, host a website, organize everything I can (because I am a bit anal about stuff), make FE gifts (which is a post in itself), put baggies of candy together for a candy swap and, wait, there has to be more... Oh yeah... Everything that we did last year still has to be done!
So, where am I with my to do list? Well, as of now, we are 131 days until we sail , but only 127 until we leave Georgia and fly to Spain. So, with that in mind, I started making lists... I have completed a few things but still have so much to do. It can be overwhelming at times, but then I go and read on our meet thread of the DIS and I feel so much better. I think that going on a DIS cruise is a bit like cruising with family that doesn't drive you batty... Of course, I am partial to this group - they are all great!! So, we are a lucky bunch.
Where was I? Oh yeah, where am I with my list. Well, I have stopped adding to it, and I have 2 things completed. I hope to finish 4 more this week. These are the fun things - magnets, gifts and Pirate stuff... I can't say what I am making for our FE gift because I might open my blog to other cruisers, but lets just say that I have bought more than what I am making because as creative as I am, I still only get 24 hours in a day, I work and drive back and forth for 12 of those and I do have to spend time with the kids as well as sleep. I will tell you that the goodies include something that I think every cabin will need, and fun stuff that I hope people will like!
So the agenda for the week is 2 secretive items, printing door magnets and making decisions about excursions and what to see in Spain. That should keep me busy!
I will check in later and provide an update... Of course, I could be escaping the reality of not being Able to do it all, but the good thing is that there are more weeks until we cruise than there are items on the to do list!
Later!
