This way isn't for me... I don't want to think about money for food once I get there. I also like all inclusive resorts when traveling.

There is something fun about a dine and dash!

You can use your MB and pay off each night with the gift cards. I'm not sure if you can load them. You'd still be pre paid just in another way. I came home with money last trip either way I'm sure you'll have a great time

We did that our last trip.

RIP Burt Reynolds.

This one made me sad.

One thing that I'm slow in adjusting to thus far is preparing lunch in the evening so it is ready to grab in the morning.
I drive my daughter to school. She takes the bus to get home. We leave home every morning at 6:40am. When school is not in session we just organize our lunch.....well....at lunch!

Alright.....alright....I'm gonna stop posting about it and actually get up and take care of it

I knew a guy that used to make all his sammies on Sunday and throw them in the freezer. Each work morning, he'd grab one and bring it to work with him.

I guess it depends what was in it. I could see pb&j.

By coincidence, I went and got mine this morning. I lucked out and had some very nice DMV employee's that pushed me through in front of a lot of people. Seems all I had to do to get that service was be nice to them. Sort of a "Real ID" Fastpass. Who knew? I even got a new picture on my Drivers License that didn't look like I was a serial killer escapee from a maximum security facility. Good day all around.

Well aren't you lucky?! Glad your photo turned out better this time for you license. Mine is hideous--I swear they take the most unflattering, fluorescent, bright light and glare it on your face -- and then they snap the picture. NO ONE could look good from any photo from our Registry.

Not sure if he ever did tuna, but he did do ham and cheese, pb&j, liverwurst, and salami sandwiches. I wouldn't like it, but it worked for him!

Very interesting. Not gonna copy that...but I can see how that could work for him.

When I'm making dinner I set up my lunch and my husbands as well for the next day. I also prep my coffee machine for the morning too, it has a timer so when I'm get up in the morning I awake to the smell of my coffee.

Oh my, you and @SteveBrickNJ are so organized with making food for the following day! Heck, I don't know what I want for dinner now, let alone know what I want for lunch a day ahead?!

That's a good idea. But I like Hellman's mayo on my sandwiches so I don't know how well that would freeze.

Don’t they let you take the picture over if you don’t like it since it is digital? I think I had 3 shots the last time.

Must be a teacher type of mentality. If I don't stay organized the day feels too hectic.

I think the smartest thing to do would be to leave off any condiments, and bring in a few jars of whatever you like to work, and just leave them in the office frig. You can always add them to you thawed out sammie each day at work.

I set up my husbands lunch usually when I make dinner as well.

Oh you must go to a "nice" Registry . . . At ours, they "might" let you take ONE more, but that's it. It's just too busy for them to let you get a movie star portrait of yourself, you know?

OMG . . . another one!!

Organization is the key to my sanity.

Wouldn't work for me, but then again, nothing does.

I guess our DMV is not too terribly busy. I also do try and be pleasant with the workers and chit chat.
