Big V, do you pack all of this stuff?

 

[Big V]

LOL NO!

 

[BethC]

WOW!! Now that is quite a list!!

I would suggest printing it out and highlighting the things that you may need to make it easier to handle.

Of course we always say as long as we have our annual passes we're all set. We can buy anything else we may have forgotten once we get down there. Well, for a price, anyway! LOL!!

Have a great trip!

 

[Lorix2]

geesh! I was worried you were going to have to charter your own plane to carry all of that stuff! LOL!

Thanks for taking the time to post all of that.

 

[Big V]

No problem posting! I have it in "Word" and just copy and paste!
