Hi Patti.

I recall you guys spent some time/effort getting your rig set up.
(just like we all do!)

It's been said, but now is the time to enjoy it.

And of course I agree. Pack smart. Be prepared. I boil it down to
potable water/phone/cash as things needed at all times. Well that and
TP.... --- ;^)

Pick a spot away from the garbage receptacles, but not far from the bathroom.

My am/fm "walkman" type radio is really useful. As a last resort,
great for "tuning" things out if need be. (generators/screaming
kids/party animals) And it takes little room.

Cheers,

Neil.
