and people wonder why I hate travel!

We are preparing for our cruise and its crunch time. Packing has begun. Thanks to John and K*ate Plus Eight I learned that you CAN pack for the kids in advance. I packed for Ellie and Sagan on Sunday. Their clothes are packed in ....large Zipl*c bags. Easier to pack. Everything fits.

As for Fred and I, I am doing the last couple of loads of laundry so that we can pack quickly and efficiently tomorrow night. Last year I remember STARTING at 8pm the night before. It was ugly.

It's funny. Ellie is so excited but little Sagan has NO IDEA what's going on. She will just sit in her car seat and happily go where we take her. Ellie remembers everything. She is looking at photographs from last years trip and can tell you everything. My girl is so like mommy. Never forgets the smallest detail

When we get there we will immediately hit the Beach Blanket Buffet for lunch and Fred will scope out to see if our cabin is ready. Last year it was. This year it's special. We paid to have it decorated for Ellie's birthday. Door magnet and tinsel and whatnot. It is very special and the Disn*y Cruis* Lin* rep said it will be amazing. I hope!

I hate travel for all of the packing and stress that comes before. When I made the reservations in February I danced all over the house. Now that the time has come I am breaking out in acne and feel the need to snack.

Once we get to the terminal then all will go smoothly. Just need to get there.
