It seemed like when I was young, getting ready for a trip didn't take much time at all. Now I spend hours to get ready.

Here are some of the things I do it no particular order.
1) Charge my phone and check to see if I have enough minutes.
2) Pack a change of clothes if needed (I have a bag already packed that I just throw in the car)
3) Pack a bag of goodies to eat. (mostly junk food)
4) Most important pack my medications along with shaving stuff, tooth brush, dental floss.
5) Pack a case of diet coke to drink on the trip.
6) Check car for oil, windshield washer, air in tires (don’t always do this)
7) Pack my money. (this is separate from the money in my wallet)
8) Make sure I have my watch on
9) Spend a few minutes reviewing basic strategy
10) Check the weather and weather radar
11) Take my players card
12) Take paper and pens for tracking sessions
13) Call casino to confirm comps
14) Pack some napkins for nose any other things
15) Eat before I go, don’t want to waste time eating when get there
16) Make sure go bathroom before leave (pee and shit)
17) Give wife orders on what to do when I’m gone
18) Finally get dressed and stuff my pockets with all this stuff
19) Do a final check. Did I put my wallet in my pants, my cell phone in coat pocket, pack my money in a pocket, player’s card in a pocket, watch on, and car keys in my pocket.
20) Reset the cars mileage and check the car's gauges. Finally I’m off on my trip.
