I just get it with my ridiculous ping-pong trips from Vancouver to Edmonton, but you'd think after 20 times, it would get easier. My front hall is lined up with electronic gizmos and a banjo that I'll probably never have time to play. Some day I swear I'll just take some socks, underwear, ativan and a toothbrush and get everything else at the airport - books, magazines and snacks. Have a good trip and maybe see you soon. m David This pre-trip panic gets tiring.

When you feel panic coming on, close your eyes and imagine this: Palma shops for you for your trip. Then she goes to Santa Fe and decides what computer equipment, books and electronic gadgets you NEED to bring. Meanwhile, you go to the desert (105 degrees), and pack for Palma. Are you laughing? THAT would be panic! Pauline,

LOL I am called high maintenance as well - I prefer to think of it as planned and organized. My travel partners get to enjoy trips without major glitches because I am so organized. Your trip sounds amazing! Enjoy Pauline - you are not obsessive - this is normal isn’t it? LOL

I also include a cigarette lighter and compact in case I get lost and have to signal rescuers and build a fire. I did get lost in the Roma Forum last fall, so who knows? Obsessive?
