Do it the way most folks who served counted down...usually to "ETS"...Estimated time of Separation...translated getting out! first, you don't count the day you're in..and that starts ASA you get up...things are already shot becuz you're still there...and you certainly don't count the day you actually leave your house...THATS called a "wake-up"...sooo. since our cruise is 2/7, and we drive down a day early...and since today doesn't count..its "8 and a wake-up!!!" now isn't that better than 9 or 10? get in the habit, and you'll never count down any other way. The Mistress of the Universe thought I was nertz, but she's been doing it for years now....far more accurate, and shorter!!
This is what happens when its too soon to pack, and you've checked your paperwork at least 4x, and its cold and raining....and you've got everything you need, its just kinda scattered...
