We are now all booked - flights,hotels, Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, bus tour of LA and I didn't talk to a travel agent once. (Well I did at the beginning but he was not very useful).
We forget so quickly how things were done before the net. We used to have to go a travel agent and wait for them to come up with everything, based often only on the companies they deal with. Now,thanks to Trip Advisor you can scutinise every lodging in a given area and see what people really think of them.
Every detail of your trip can be checked out, Google maps and Google Earth mean that you can make sure your hotel is where you want it to be. But timetables, shuttles, trains you name it - it's all there.
So I have a folder full of important bits of paper, and a very stressed credit card.
Time has sped up this week. Suddenly there are lots of last minute bits and pieces to finish off, masses of forms to fillout, and of course working out how we get the extra baggage associated with two robots over the States.
We are however nearly there and I have today and tomorrow to sort the rest out and pack. It's one advantage of geeting up at 4.45am - you can get a lot done!
