It’s the final countdown! What are those last little things you do to prepare for your trip? Or to make sure you’re really ready? I feel like I’m forgetting something!

mostly just use a Check List app on my phone and be sure everything is checked off. Everything goes on there, even dumb stuff like “get tip money” and “power down house.”

Those are the stupid things I want to hear! I feel like I haven’t traveled in ages…

Printed menus were nice to have for us, although I’m hoping most restaurants have them again.
I think they’ve gone the way of the dodo. Far easier (and cheaper) to just have everyone pull up the QR Code. Could make a come back for the higher end restaurants though
But along that vein: item on the checklist: print your spreadsheet/initial TP. (which I will then proceed to completely ignore all the time and effort I spent on it)

I start gathering stuff about a week before into a central location as things come to my mind. I’ll remember things at random times and I found getting my brain “working” on it ahead of time is usually enough. When I realize I’ve forgotten something, the trip hasn’t started yet and I can pack it. The only things I make sure I have are my phone and wallet. Most everything else I can have shipped via amazon or live without.

Some people don’t like using their phone to look at a restaurant menu, especially table service. Many people have complained about not having it.
I will second printing the spreadsheet/touring plan.

We got a paper menu at Tiffins and at Tony’s Town Square.
Coral Reef, Rose & Crown and Ale & Compass had the QR code. I looked at allears menus while one of the kids with us looked on line somewhere else.
Since I’m here in June and July, I brought my check register. Not everything is auto pay.
We did bring glow sticks tho we didn’t use them.
I brought a pocket size bottle of electrolyte drops for water bottles filled at fountains. It’s been so hot, I’ve actually put a few drops in any liquid I’m drinking.

Also easier to change menu prices on the fly. We could see price changes over the course of an evening. Everyone wants the steak tonight? Raise the price!
