Planning a Trip: Step 4 – Make Lists

As we approach our trip, I’m in a big “making lists” mode. What have a made lists of? I know what that needs … a meta-list.

• People we might be able to see on our trip.
• Addresses for postcards.
• Packing lists:
  • Clothes
  • Toiletries
  • Diversions
  • Camping stuff
  • Food prep
  • Food
  • Travel
• Music for the road
• Books for the road
• Things for the housesitter to know.
• Things to buy.
• Things to DO – by day and by person.

I am a HUGE list person. I’ve got to get things written down to get them out of my head and organized into something that makes sense…

And despite all this, I KNOW there will be things we forget. Thankfully, there’s nothing we can’t pick up on the way or have mailed to us if necessary.
