Thank you all for your ideas!! It's amazing all the little things we are dealing iwth and we just kind of...do it. Trying to put it all down on paper is hard - I forget about so much of it!

Nancy, I've been meaning to ask ... how did your schedule work out for you? Did you end up with free time at the end? If so, perhaps you can send some tips my way on how you managed that.

I need to put together a similar sort of schedule of my own very soon, so if you've got anything to add or change on your schedule, or any tips or advice on the preparation process, I'd love to hear it!
