I have created a compiled packing list and would like to attach it for people to use....yeah, that didn't work....Um, can I submit an attachment that is in Excel format? Oh, by the way, I am rarely this organized, so this is a big deal for me...HA HA!
I've said it before but, pack a different soap or perfume than you usually use at home. Then we you get home stop using it. When ever you have a really bad day get it use it (I perfer the soap because you use it in the shower which is away from anyone) and let it relax you and take you back to your vacation for a moment. You will be amazed at how well this works. I promise. It is my aroma therapy.
Alisa makes sure that we have different vacation scents that we will carefully select before we leave. It is amazing all the memories that flow back when either of you wear that scent. We've been doing it since we got married and it definitely helps on those not so great days!
