We are one week out. We have our Green Checkmark, Verifly(at least mine) in complete, all info is complete for AA. I'm about 98% packed, Stu-no idea.
We decided that since our flight lands at 2 pm to grab something in Philly and have lunch on the plane, so we are not going to lunch at 3 pm in Aruba. The plan is to go to the condo and start unpacking and taking things out of the owners closet. I purchased large plastic containers last year, and packed stuff away by room, so getting set up should be much easier than in the past.
We have dinner reservations for TOF on the day we arrive and Asi Es Mi Peru for the 23rd. The plan on the 23rd is go to breakfast and go shopping and get as much as we can and then finished the rest after the craziness calms down. Last year, before we left, I made of list of everything we use. A few weeks ago, I organized it into categories-dairy, deli, meat, kitchen, spices, etc. I don't know what is left from last year as the kids used some of it. I'll pull out the list, cross off what is not needed and go from there.
Between now and the time we leave, we have lots going on. Yesterday our friends, their daughters and 2 of the 3 babies came to visit. Today was the drop off of our car club toy drive(it may be our last one as the club is slowly shutting down), and I have to leave in a few minutes to do a blood donation. Stu's assistant is coming over tonight so we can give her son his gifts. She already has his gift as we took her and her hubby out to dinner on Saturday to celebrate not only the holidays, but her 25th year working for him, which was after being 2.5 hours away for my cousin's granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah. Tomorrow I go into my old classroom to teach a lesson on Chanukah and then out to dinner with hubby since it is our 32nd anniversary. Saturday I will spend the day making "Chanukah Cookies" as my kids call them. Sunday will probably be a trip to the cemetery and Sunday night is the first night of Chanukah. Grocery shopping for my son on Monday, hair and pedi on Tuesday and Wednesday evening we check in the hotel at the airport.
