In the Fall my best friend and her husband are traveling to Europe
for their 25thwedding anniversary. She told me that she is excited but
also a little apprehensive. She asked me, “What do I need to bring? What procedures
do I need to follow?”
I printed her this checklist and handed it to her. She
studied it intently and smiled, the breath she had been holding released in an
audible ahhhhhh. While she finished reading the list I also printed her the
General Traveling checklist and told her if she needed any of the other related
checklists to go to SimplyChecklists.com. She took her lists and smiling,
walked away from me. "Don’t forget to send me a postcard," I said. "Oh, I
better remember by address book," she yelled back. "Don’t worry," I said,
"It’s on the checklist."
