Though you may travel near or far, in a semi-truck or an old used car, remember often of what they say, that friends are just a card away.  So don’t forget your address book.  And your camera and your cell phone and your sunglasses and sunscreen and traveler’s checks and prescriptions and  . . . . wow, there are so many things to remember to pack and check.  I don’t know what I’d  do without this checklist. 

We’ve been planning this trip for what seems ages and now it’s only a week away.  The sun, surf and sandy beaches are calling out my name.  I just printed off a blank checklist so I can make a list of all the beaches, museums and historical sites I want to visit . . . when I’m not meditating (or sleeping) on the beach.   The gently rolling waves lulling me into vacation nirvana.  Actually, since I have this checklist, I’m already pretty relaxed.
