4Real Forums: packing for a quick get-away

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Thank you for the welcome Angie!

I'm laughing again because my dh and I are leaving on a 5 day car trips next week and I've known for a year now and I'm still having trouble getting ready.

I think I need to get off the computer

At least we have only ourselves to worry about!

UPDATE

I am shamefully delayed at updating this topic to thank EVERYONE for your help! During July, our family went for a trip to the beach and...

Words cannot express our beautifully the packing and unpacking went! We are going on another trip soon and I have NO stress about the packing/unpacking. I'm actually looking forward to it!

We were so well organized that while on vacation, we were given an opportunity to switch from our hotel lodging to a cabin *on the beach* and were able to say YES! We checked out of our hotel in <15 minutes! It was a bit of a challenge to go from a hotel stay to more of a camping stay but...we had ALL the basics we needed to get us off to a good start.

Jen, I especially thought of you when all our color-coded duffle bags were stacked on the bellhop cart

.

I can't recommend this organization project highly enough!

Love,
