(No I am not obsessed….ok maybe just a little)
You will also find I repeat some things here over and over...that is so my male mind remembers it otherwise it might slip away into oblivian....hey there is a game on....what was that I ment to write down....touchdown...oh well I'll remember later..or not!!!
Tier I (make or break stuff)
Step 1 pick dates…check
Step 2 invite friends….check
Step 3 book Time Share…..check
Step 4 book extra days on Anguilla……investigating
Step 5 price flights…..investigating heavily
Tier II (nice to have…..very nice to have)
Big ticket items to purchase (hopefully) before trip
Purchase 1 Procure a laptop from son….needs new hard drive and battery but otherwise I like all the extras this machine has on it……check
1a price out needed parts….investigating
1b purchase and install parts….on hold till 1a completed….duhh
Purchase 2 New digital camera(s) Looking at either a high end beginning DSLR or low end pro…thinking Canon XTi or D40 and possibly an inexpensive point and shoot as well……..investigating heavily Olympus has a point and shoot that can be used in snorkeling…depth to 30’ or so with no external case, I’m very interested.
Purchase 3 pick up some dive equipment for CB (child bride) …at least the “underwear” consisting of a good mask, snorkel a good set of split fins and some booties and possibly a shortie wetsuit. I usually use an on line shoppe….. http://www.leisurepro.com/ Have made several purchases and have been very happy with all.
Tier III (activities we know we want to do)
#1 a day trip to Prickly Pear with friends
#2 couple of mornings diving..one each in AXA and SXM
#3 jet ski over to CayVerte (Green Cay) and also ferry to Pinel Island
#4 visit way too many beaches. We try to get to 3-4 each time we go.
Last trip was Orient Plum and Cupecoy only. Trip before was Orient, Rouge, Longue, Plum. This trip already know we want to visit Pinel, Verte, Rouge, Plum, Friars, and Happy as well as Prickly Pear and a few days on Anguilla.
#5 dinner in Grand Case….yes we have been to the island several times and no we still have not eaten in GC. We certainly will this time.
#6 Contact island photographer and schedule a photo shoot with him...will provide name and review when I return.
We do pack a lot of activities into a trip but all is; 1. general and 2. changeable if one or other of us is not interested or has a better idea.
Yes this trip is still a long time off (231 days).
My planning is about passing time between the year mark in which we book our return to our Timeshare and the day we get on the plane.
Rob is a much happier person when thinking about and planning for vacation, if you don't believe me ask CB she will tell you.
We may get there and go to one or two beaches and never even think about anything or place else. But…..nah not like me at all.
I really like to explore and do something new and different each time we visit.
Kind of live by this plan…."make a thorough list write it down and then use it as my book mark while lying at the beach and laugh"…..thinking that we could have been too busy to enjoy much at all if we would have followed any plan.
