The bags are almost all packed. Flights, hotel room, rental car all confirmed. I've been doing laundry and laying out the travelling clothes. Yes, we have another day before we fly on Friday but I have learned over the years that if I prepare in advance as much as possible it makes travelling a more pleasant experience for all of us.
This way we can have a nice breakfast Friday morning before the car comes to pick us up. I'm making chocolate croissants (the premade Pilsbury dough stuff, come on I'm not crazy!) and we will hopefully have a pleasant, relaxed morning. If I don't prepare then the morning would most likely consist of a lot of shouting, running around, sweating, harsh accusations and tears on the stairs. All from me. And then I would most likely forget something crucial like the passports (it has happened before and what a freakin' nightmare it was) or something less crucial but convenient like the Calpol and then both children would get raging fevers on the flight and I would be arrested at Arrivals for threatening the flight attendants if they didn't get some medicine for my children RIGHT NOW. Then the hassle of arranging bail for me, getting put on some airport shit-list and having difficulties travelling for the rest of my life. So you see, much better to prepare well in advance.
I think I'll just go double check the bags now.

I'm a big fan of the Boots in the terminal before getting on the plane.. that's usually where I pick up my forgotten Calpol/Piriton!
Have a safe and uneventful morning and flight on Friday. We'll be right behind you on Saturday!
