[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]National Parks and certain museums or activities here and abroad have to be reserved at least 6 months in advance.

But other than that, you shouldn't lock your family into any commitments: your kids are in their period of greatest change, their tastes and preferences will change, but also their availability, if they want to look for internships of jobs, or if they participate in specialized camp or tour experiences (language, music, athletics, etc).

Is it anxiety that is spurring you on? You need to be more flexible.

Not, it's not anxiety at all. Like a PP said, I've realized that different camps and activities have different age requirements, and I enjoy fitting things together like a puzzle to make sure we can take advantage of as much as we can.

(Also, their preferences haven't changed in the past five years.)[/quote]

Got it, you like to maximize. I do too! But as a poster said, plans are useless but planning is essential. You can have all the Excel spreadsheets you want, but when (not if) things change... well, you'll have to roll with it. Isn't this what most people do?

Well, not my DH. And no spreadsheets here, just a list in my head. I love PP's quote, though.[/quote]
