We're in the final stages of planning for a group trip to Tahoe for snowboarding this winter. A few of us will be driving up from San Diego and some Michigan friends will be flying in. The toughest part of having these grand vacations together is the organizing and miniscule details. You gotta figure out what everyone wants and what everyone's schedule is and stuff like that. It's a little frustrating at times but it's something I've always really really enjoyed. To organize something, to plan. I love that feeling of having everything rushing together and everything finally working out. Granted it's hard sometimes to make sure everyone's happy but that essentially it's the job of the planner to ensure success. I like the organizing of all these trips, the organizing of events and shows. The organizing of fantasy sports leagues. Organizing anything (be it potluck or football game) makes me feel useful and fulfilled.
