I was sent a letter from the tour guide listing 35 things to do in advance of the trip. Some of them one would naturally think of doing such as purchasing travelers checks, label luggage inside and out and have camera checked and buy new batteries. Other suggestions were a bit different and included arrange kennel for your pets, put porch furniture away and put jewelry in safe deposit box. As my husband will be home, there was no need to follow the instructions that said; turn off water, set automatic light timers, disconnect electric appliances and lock all doors and windows in cluding basement and garage. I thought two small suitcases would be sufficient until I started packing. Besides an assortment of dresses, skirts, blouses, slacks, shorts anH swimsuits there were HEATMATE HEATERS Lancaster numerous other necessary items. Shoes for one and sweaters and an umbrella to mention just a few. So things had to be moved to a larger suitcase. At least this time, I’ll have a permanent eight day residence on the ship and not have to pack every morning and move as I did on my European trip the other year. A list of 28 things not including clothes to carry in a flight bag were toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, makeup, hairspray, tanning lotion, jewelry, medicines, wallet, itinerary, credit cards, airline tickets, passport and on and on. Have you ever tried to buy tanning lotion in January? All of this preparation doesn’t say a word about the baking and cooking that I did the day before leaving. I’d gotten some extra groceries, made cookies, prepared meat, thawed cheese, and cooked some desserts to make meals more readily available for my busy husband. Surely hope everything goes okay for both of us. EXPERT REPAIRS FENCERS r , 'LL- • GENERATORS f T' • STARTERS \ Lr> • ALTERNATORS PEQUEA BATTERIES mM
