Preparing for travel

We’ve been gearing up our actions for getting everything ready for the trip to California in couple of weeks.

As we are a family of engineers (not the boys, at least not yet), we have written all the details down into checklists. There are checklists for purchasing needed stuff, handling miscellaneous items at home, and packing — for each of us separately and one common list. That makes seven lists that we will meticulously go through soon.

This might sound a bit extreme, but I tend to sleep better when I know that things are under control. Items for the last two or three trips have been put together so hastily that I’ve got a nagging feeling of forgetting something for the first days. We’ve become seasoned, as nothing has been left behind…

Anyhow, I now need to go to print out some ticketing and reservation mails, so I can check one box off.
