Here is my Thursday Thirteen of things I need to do or purchase before our trip to Puerto Rico:

  1. Luggage, I must buy carry ons before we go. See my thoughts here.
  2. Motion sickness meds. I hear that the constant up and down on the mountains will make you wretchedly sick.
  3. Set up kennel care for the dog.
  4. Earplugs. I must have those before I go anywhere.
  5. Figure out what to do with my mail. Can you request that the mail place hold your stuff till you return? Checking that out later.
  6. Clothes… what am I going to take to wear???
  7. Batteries for the camera *of course*.
  8. Find Internet access. I must have it or I will be so far behind when I get back that I will never catch up. Might end up getting a wifi card for the broke down laptop.
  9. If I can make enough money by then I will buy a newer laptop. Thank God for my newfound steady income! No more worries about making that bill and have extra for myself SQUEEEE!
  10. Try to talk hubby into getting me an mp3 player.
  11. Alert our trustworthy neighbors that we will not be home so they can watch for any devious activity.
  12. Make sure all the bills are up to date so we don’t have any surprises when we return.
  13. Figure out what we are going to do with our car when we leave…cuz I am not trying to pay for storage or whatever till we get back.

    You can score an ipod shuffle for about $60..and just leave the car in long term at the airport..

    I would get a shuffle if I didn’t think I would end up losing it. Is there a comparable one that is a bit larger than the shuffle but just as good in that price range that you know of? I keep looking but there are sooo many different kinds!

    Long term at the airport doesn’t cost does it?

    Go to the post office and fill out a little card. We put our mail on hold all the time. You can select the period of time, then decide if you want it all delivered when you’re back, or check that you’ll pick it up in person.
