I met a friend of a friend in FLorida once. Organised -puts Macka in the shade, I tell you - they called to see us on their way to a theme park. She had a trolley [ actually a laundry trolley from Matalan] filled with a change of clothes and some flip flops, and towels, for wet rides, a bottle of frozen water each, cameras etc, nibbles and an itinerary to ensure they made every ride. THey push the trolley along and dump it outside rides[ it had a "lid" ]so they didn't have the hassle of lugging rucksacks along, and throw it away at the end of the trip.
I just sat there open mouthed.:D

Ooooh now that is organised. I have to say, once we get there, we blagg it.[msnscared]

Macka please explain to a plain speaking Irish woman what is an Anorak ?
-
Olive - anorak is either an affectionate or rude word for someone who is dull and boring and particularly obsessed with minutae in relation to their obsession - aka trainspotters!

But being a Florida Anorak is no bad thing.[msnwink]:D

I am trying not to be so organised. I was already packed and ready to go 2 weeks before we were due go in the Summer, and spent the whole day before going through the cases to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything and moving the swimsuits to the top for the kids to jump straight in the pool.[:o)
Must admit though, am now twitching every time I pass the cases, only 1 month to go[msnwink]

Okay Mr Anormacka...............
You being a "seasoned" traveller to the US.../...Florida, how about putting a MUST HAVE list for the new visitors to Florida or the less organised.
A check list based on the things that the contributors to this topic have mentioned
I realise people have their own particular preferences I'm thinking of more general official stuff.
EG maybe photocopies of passports, creditcard emergency numbers. etc
Something that can be "searched" printed off and ticked off sort of thing
Assuming that there is not one already, but I am sure someone will let us know if there is.

Ahhh Linda Linda Linda, I wondered how long it would be before one of you begged me for my list.[^]
Actually Linda that is a cracklingly good idea[clap][clap][clap].
Ok I love a challenge. How about I post my list, and we'll all butcher it about until we come up with what we can agree is the definitive document? I' not sure if we can print it from the forum in the right format though, perhaps John or an administrator can advise?
I'll post it it shortly and we'll blagg it from there.[msnsmile2]
