Packing post-mortum

 So I had a nice organized list.
I will definitely use the daily envelope system again. It helped keep the money and gift cards organized. Definitely need more Starbucks gift cards.

small cooler, blue ice- Dead useful, snacks and drinks helped hugely.

Computer bag—cord case: useless, I didn't take a computer.

Phone/chargecord: Vital 

hand work: Useful for evening relaxing, and emergency repair.

powerbanks, 2 each: The Best Buy ones were slow chargers. Keep an eye out for more Caribeaner chargers

Park Bag:

Ponchos: We had splendid weather an d never got rained on. But I had them in case

sunscreen :vital

fang glue: Yes and yes. My teeth are good for one meal

power banks: oh yes.

sunglasses: Forgot them

ziplocs: dead useful

filter water bottle Oh definitely. I'm a big water drinker and we refilled it a dozen times a day

personal fan/mister: Personal fan was all right, mister was a bulky bust, might be better in hotter weather. Hand fan was a necessity

snacks: Totally

First aid kit: not needed but glad I had it

Room
Storage cubes: Very useful

dish soap- forgot this and wished for it.

dish cloth ditto

george foreman grill, would have been useful

omelet maker Was useful

plates etc- very useful

Brita pitcher, VITAL. We made tea using the britta water, and chilled it overnight to take along for a caffeine boost.

At it again

 I definitely want to go back.
I looked into an onsite room. with 4 park days and food: about 2500. Airfare about 300, and  mobility about 150

Figure 3K, just to be safe.
I have to raise 3000. 

If four of us go together, 4000 for room and tickets, 1500 for food, 1200 for airfare and 150 for mobility
8000 for 4, this cuts my cost by 1/3rd.

All right, 8000 here I come with my earning.
