Hakuna Mattata

I'm diggin' vacation so far and I haven't even left yet. I like this no pressure feeling...isn't that Hakuna Mattata? From the Lion King, no worries...now the song is playing in my head...it means no worries for the rest of your days, it's our problem free philosophy...hakuna mattata. Well I feel better now. I had to re-pack though. I couldn't get a pair of sneakers and sandals in. I rolled the clothes. I knew that trick, used it when I went to Italy, but I got a new suitcase with more pockets and thought I'd get it all in. The more room you have, the more stuff you take. I have 3 books; some have 2-3 stories in them. lots of quilt magazines and even a hand sewing project. I will probably surprise myself if I even get to the sewing and finish more than 1 book. I won't actually get to these things until the 4th day. We will arrive the 1st day around noon, but check in isn't until 3 and you can't get into the pool with out a room key. So we'll drop our bags at the hotel; they will hold them for you, grab lunch and putz around, maybe play a little black jack. Day 2 we are playing in a mini black jack tournament right at noon, and day 3 we will rent a car and go to some usual spots. We go to the Sonic for lunch cuz we don't have one here, and the quilt store, then off to the border of California where there are a cluster of small casinos. Primm Valley Resorts is the place and Buffalo Bills has a water log ride, roller coater, and a mall.

One packing trick I have learned: pack as tightly as you can, squeezing in as much as you can. Then stand your suitcase up on its narrow end and open the zipper at the top. You will usually find that the contents have settled slightly, leaving an air gap big enough for one more pair of shoes. This probably only works with soft-sided luggage.
