Vacation Spreadsheet Was A Real Stress Saver

When our family clan rented a beach house for a vacation, we divided up the supplies equally that everybody needed to bring and posted the meal assignments, too. Having it all down on paper and having everyone receive a copy, knowing who was responsible for what, really worked. It made for a smooth packing duty because none of us needlessly duplicated each other. It was also so useful because we assigned each family a night to be responsible for the evening meal. Everything was all written down on the spreadsheet, weeks in advance, and it actually put us all into a lively fun competition to have the coolest themed meal for our own night. It helped keep us calmly organized, no one got all nervous, and no one had a disagreement all week. We love your spreadsheet ideas. Keep them coming and thanks for helping our family to have a harmonious and stress-free vacation.
