No matter how prepared I am in most aspects of my life, I always seem to race to finish a zillion tiny tasks the day before embarking on a cruise.My bag has been packed for days, but I've got a list of minor details to tend to today before we can leave for our Paul Gauguin Cruises vacation...
- Download some new eBooks to my Kindle; I know I'll purchase Richard Clarke's new Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It and I'll have to pick a few others. I'd love to get a new Lisa Unger novel, but her next book (Fragile) isn't out until August. Darn!
- Get my hair done; I love the 24-hour beauty parlor in the Gramercy neighborhood of Manhattan. It's right near my office and I'll be in and out before 8am!
- Send out Mother's Day care packages. My favorite gifts to send include Belgium chocolates from Leonidas or cute "honeybee" bon bons from L.A. Burdick; clothes or fashion jewelry from Coldwater Creek; or pies from the Little Pie Company.
- Pick up some gourmet snacks for the plane. It's not smart to rely on the airlines to provide satisfying meals in the air so I'll be packing a picnic basket for the trip. For this, I head to Garden of Eden on 14th Street in Manhattan.
