Lots to think about as we prepare for a trip to Greece with Roads Scholar in April. It's not been canceled by the tRump's war.
Getting out of US may be a challenge with TSA issues. We do have TSA Precheck which I've read is a faster line. We will arrive at the Boston airport 3 hours ahead of time but will need to get lunch too. We leave home in the morning and take a 2.5 hour bus to the airport!
Here is some of what I do to get ready.
First I print out a packing list. I printed one for Dan too. You see I make lots of notes on it.
We will be using vacuum bags for packing our clothing. It worked for our two week trips to Spain and to Switzerland but for both of those trips we had laundry facilities in our apartments. On board the small ship there is supposed to be laundry with limited availability so still struggling with what combinations of clothes to take. The weather is not going to be as warm as I originally thought when we booked this trip. Athens will probably be the warmest and the islands in the Aegean will be cooler. Today highs there are in the 50s.
I start assembling items to take on the guest room bed. Unfortunately I'm going to have to move all of this when granddaughters #3 & #4 come on the 2nd.
Roads Scholar has sent us name tags and suitcase tags.
What do you do to get ready?
