Making a list, checking it twice.

In honor of our impending vacation (tomorrow morning!!!!), I decided it was high time to update the packing list I created years ago - which, honestly, I use for every single trip I take. I would love to attach the PDF for your downloading pleasure. Alas, it won't let me, but, be assured, I'm happy to email it directly should you ever want it. (And blame any wonkiness on the Word to blog transfer! The weird white boxes are checkboxes on my end.)

I feel I should point out a new addition to the ole packing list - running gear! I used to poo-poo the idea of exercise on vacation, but now that it's (finally) part of my regular routine, I can't see completely eliminating running all together on vacation (besides, then I can pig out guilt free!). I also updated the electronics (iPad for plane movie viewing!) and pulled some items from the list into the notes section (i.e., traveling amusement).

And yes, I said undies.

When I finalize my packing tonight, I suspect this list will be much more effective than the old.

What are YOUR packing habits? Do you see any room for improvement with my new list?

Oh, and see ya next week! Look out Canada, here we come!
