Trip Planning

Travelling with Jon can evoke memories of a Griswold vacation. Especially when we travel by car. All the electronic gadgets and their adaptors, the mini car refrigerator, the two GPS devices (apparently we'll need them!). You get the picture. I prefer to be in my own little world and make my own little simple travel list.
1. Clothes
2. Toiletries
3. iPod
4. Book
5. Knitting project
6. List of local yarn stores at destination

I knew this book would come in handy for item number six. It was in our goody bags at Stitch 'n Pitch in July and it's quite handy indeed: A quick check on the first leg of the trip:We are heading south out of the Twin Cities so it seems only natural that we would be heading away from most of the yarn stores. We plan to leave at 0:dark hundred hours tomorrow morning so I'm fairly certain the one in Owatonna won't be open plus I'd be hard pressed to get my travel companions to stop this early in the trip anyway. As we cross the border in to South Dakota:Um. This is quite unacceptable. Sioux Falls is not scheduled until the return trip home. Aberdeen looks a little bit out of the way. Spearfish - not on the schedule at all. Really, is this it?? Someone please tell me this spending money in my pocket won't have to go to a casino!

Revised travel list:

Suitcase 1:
1. Clothes
2. Toiletries
3. iPod
4. Book

Suitcase 2:
Knitting projects

I'm not sure if we're taking a computer with us or not so if I don't post from the road, I'll be back next week.
