Well, not really. It's just that I've been saying all along that we were pretty much done shopping and had all our stuff ready to go, and on Saturday morning, we let my husband go to Target with us.
I can't remember what the original need was. But we left with 3 bags of stuff, most of it for the cruise. Bungee Cords, duct tape (in bright sunny spring green), shorts and a cami for the daughter, pantyhose and a slip for me, (more) travel-sized toiletries (and travel-sized Tide!!!), replacement ipod headphones, electronic and pool games (including some fabric-covered sponge balls that will no doubt make us very popular with our fellow cruisers), and a bunch of other things I cannot recall. Almost none of it was on the list going in.
So do we have everything now? Probably not. After all, the luggage doesn't leave for 3 more days, which gives us lots of time to put things in it. Many things are already packed - we started the luggage stuffing itself on Friday night after work. And we might actually get onboard with one suitcase each - one of which is the joint hanging bag with our "elegant night" clothes.
So, this time next week, we'll be at sea. I never know, in the run-up to a cruise, if I should really wallow in anticipation and make that last week almost part of the cruise, or if I should try to get through it as quickly as possible. The problem is, if this week goes quickly, then it will BE next week and there's no slowing it down even if we wanted to - it'll be over way too soon. There's no good solution here.
My master lists have 2 blank days on them for today and tomorrow. That can't be good. Wonder what I'm forgetting?
Apart from the travel sized toothpaste, that is. And maybe some more packets of detergent... And some more clothespins...
