Writing a check off list - the day of our road trip!

United States
March 30, 2017 2:34am CST
In the morning, my fiancé & I will be taking a mini road day trip! Essentially it's a 3 in 1 day trip: - Getting our car detailed & coated with another layer of clear coat from the dealership - that will take 4-5 hours - In the meantime, we are going to get our taxes filed! - & Afterwards, we will stop by and enjoy eating out and probably stop by a new bakery or tea spot! And of course being the forgetful one. I made a check off list just encase. Do you often make check off lists? Any similar items as me? Or any strange things you have on your list? Yes, I carry around plastic utensils in my purse, my fiancé prefers them.

What is gingerale in your list? And what are those plastic utensils in your purse that your fiance prefers , the disposable spoons and forks?

@LadyDuck Yeah, the red dots underneath the word suggest it's a typo...

I'm guessing it's ginger ale - the carbonated soft drink or soda...

Those are essentials. I won't forget my purse! It has all that but I will be switching my purse out on the morning for a lighter and bigger one to fit the iPad.

I do make check lists. We're going on vacation in 2 weeks and you can bet I'll have a check list of what to pack/bring.. I probably won't start until a few days before hand though.

Do you write your list on paper ? :) I always end up forgetting where I last put the paper.

@LadyDuck I am forgetful to grab the list. I used to write in a notebook then that made my purse more heavy than it already is

@infatuatedbby I always write my list on paper, it stays on my desk until I am ready to go out, at that moment I put the list inside my bag.

@jobelbojel I like that! I do love the beach, the pool and the rivers! I wish I have your enthusiasm and energy! But, I am a cold person. Rain and snow are my nature extensions. If I could, I would squeeze myself to fit in the fridge or live in the bath tub. I am a mermaid at heart but not under the burning sun. lol.

I don't bring utensils but buy disposable ones when I get to my destination. Your idea can save me on that. Enjoy your road trip.

Its a good thing you made your list on your phone. There's no danger that you will forget it. I used to make all my lists in a piece of paper but I always somehow forget all about where I put it or just left it at home that I have to make to do to what I remember and just go with my got and hoping I didnt forget anything. Last month I downloaded TODO app just for my lists.

No, i do not need a checklist, as long as it is not a grocrey checklist. Lol. On a roadtrip, we usually go where our feet leads us to. Lol. You are not alone carrying plastic utensils though.
