In less than Thirtydays

So, the title says it all. I’m going to Legoland with less than a month to plan. My daughter, Krystal, is my opposite. She could pack tonight and leave tomorrow for anywhere. I need at least three months to plan a trip. I am not a spontaneous person. I am calculated lol.

She came up with the brilliant idea to go to Legoland for Camden’s birthday, next month. I’ve always wanted to go. For those of you who don’t know me, I love theme parks and Legos lol. Roller coasters are my favorite. I know that the park is geared more towards little kids but I would love to experience it through Camden’s eyes. So here I am, scrambling to plan flights, hotel rooms, dog sitters, pack and organize details.

Flying Allegiant would be my first choice because of price and convenience. It’s a direct flight, but they only fly on certain days of the week. I can fly out of Eugene, choosing the dates but it’s twice as much as Allegiant and there is a layover in San Francisco. I could fly out of Portland which is cheaper but there’s the three hour drive. So, I need time. Much more time to figure out the flight and packing and doing the walk throughs in my mind of how things will go down.

Packing. I have my paper list going. I feel like it makes the trip seem more organized if I write it all down. The trip would require two days of travel clothes and two days at the park so that wouldn’t require a lot. I am going with carry-on. It’s so much easier than dragging a big bag. In all reality, if I forget something I can buy it when I am there. I guess I shouldn’t stress so much on packing but it’s just in my nature lol.
