In family news:

My inlaws are leaving for Mexico on December 26th. The need to be at the airport at 4:30 in teh morning, and have recruited Hubs to drive them. To say he is less than enthused to be getting up at that time in the morning would not be an exaggeration.

The ticket thingys my in laws printed out come full of rules they must follow. Like their luggage, two bags each, can only weight 45 pounds each. They keep packing and re packing their bags and then bringing them over here to set them on the scale. I told them to just take the scale to their house, I’m not going to need it, but they refuse to be logical.

Im finding it doubtful that they will manage to successfully pack their luggage properly, but they do get to take carry on bags with them. In My father in laws, he will have all his medication, but I suppose MIL can pack a few extra odds and ends into her carry on..

In hopeful news :

Speaking of travel, My sister is NOT going to Texas now in March. She has found, like I hoped she would, that saving the amount of money she would need to take a trip of that magnitude, is very hard to do. She still has firm plans to go..sometime, but the date is not set and I am ever hopeful that things will change in the time it takes her to save up the money.
