Before we go on a cruise, or travel anywhere for that matter, I always take my car to have the oil & filter changed. Once Dawson was up and ready to go, we headed out.

First stop was the oil & filter change. Quick. Easy. Plus it comes with a free car wash!!!! I have been using this place for several years and will continue to do so.

Costco has the best price for gas in my area so I might as well go ahead and fill up my car now. I do not see myself doing much driving between now and when we leave for Galveston. Especially since I work from home.

Carnival Cruise Lines allows the guests to bring one 12-pack of soda per person on the cruise. It just so happens that Target has the Coke products on sale this week, 3 for $14. Definitely the best price I have found. So, I purchased 1 12-pack of Coke, and 2 12-packs for Sprite. One for us to take on the cruise, and one for Dawson to enjoy.

We were a little hungry after all the running around we have done including a couple of stops that were not related to this cruise. So, we did what we thought was the best decision for us at the time. We went to Sonic. Love their burgers and tater tots!!!!

The last to-do item on today’s list is for my mom and I to have our nails done. My mother loves bright, sparkly colors. As far as she is concerned, the more glitter a color has, the better it is. So, I helped her select a nice shade of pink with plenty of glitter. I decided to also select a color with lots of glitter yet still remain basic. So I chose white. It is definitely something that will coordinate with anything I will be wearing on the cruise.

Now that the list is almost complete, tomorrow’s list will be smallish.
