Leaving this afternoon for a week in a city two-three hours away. What amazes me is the packing we do now as opposed to when we were in our twenties. My shaving kit is still the same BUT packing all the electronics and their associated chargers...... It is a pain in the *****. I-phones chargers for each of us, I-pads (two minis and her big one), her Nook, out Fitbit watches, and all the associated chargers..... You get the idea. Then when we return home it will be getting all those back in their usual places. Oh yeah, don't forget the power strip to plug everything in. It wouldn't be such a hassle except for two parents, 90+, and four grandkids, three months to nearly eight years, and the possibility of having to rush home to take care of somebody. Thus we must keep in touch.
In the old days it was pack enough clothes to live out of a suitcase for a week. Now we have a washer and dryer in the room and throw everything in the washer when we leave for the day, into the dryer when we come home, and it is ready to wear again. So two shirts and pairs of jeans is all I take besides what I wear on the trip down.
We are coming back next Friday and picking up the seven (I'm nearly eight granddaddy) year old granddaughter and taking her to her first pro hockey game. To say she is exited is putting it mildly. She didn't even know what hockey was until a month or so ago. Now she has googled all the rules.... Kids..... On the other hand it is a Saturday afternoon game and they are all sell outs so I was told. Usually you can call the team and tell them you are bringing somebody for their first game and they will give a discount. NOT on Saturday afternoon.
Good day
