Re-visiting parts of our trip checklist…

Tier I (make or break stuff) COMPLETED!!!!
Step 1 pick dates…check
Step 2 invite friends….check
Step 3 book Time Share…..check
Step 4 book extra days on Anguilla……check three days at the Allamanda on Upper Shoal Bay.
Step 5 price flights…..check and not only priced but purchased.

Tier II (nice to have…..very nice to have) Big changes on this front!!!Big ticket items to purchase (hopefully) before tripPurchase 1 Procure a laptop from son….This purchase took a huge turn this weekend. Darned Black Friday Sales…lol. Had son’s laptop and got it running again but still needed a battery. Found a great sale on a pretty decent laptop and decided to scoop one up. So now I am not in process of rebuilding his machine rather learning Vista software on my new one. This task can now be checked off as done!
Purchase 2 New digital camera(s) Eldest son just purchased the Canon Rebel XTi 10.1 MP……Has offered to loan it to me for our vacation….still investigating an Olympus point and shoot that can be used in snorkeling…depth to 33’ with no external case, I’m very interested. Most likely done here too but one never knows.Purchase 3 pick up some dive equipment for CB (child bride) …at least the “underwear” We have a mask and snorkel. Will probably hold off on the fins as we are planning to pack carry on luggage only and fins won’t fit into that combination… Pretty much finished here as well.

We are still planning activities for the trip and I have contacted a local dive shop on Anguilla to set up dives but the other activities will wait until we are on island.

My page will be changing a bit soon as we have met almost all tasks needed to be finished for our trip. We are already kicking around where to go next year and who to go with….It wont be back to St Maarten next year for sure…we are actually talking about either Mexico or possibly the Florida Keys…
