Last things and packing lists

Even though I am still not sleeping well, I woke up excited this morning.  The end is in sight and I have a plan for the next few days.  Today both bigs will be with friends either here or there.  I have a few more phone calls to make to change addresses and final arrangements.  Tomorrow I am planning on packing up our stuff for the plan and some stuff for the "Man Only Road Trip".  Wednesday the movers come and I am eager to know when they plan on arriving with our stuff.  Dave left last night and will be home Wednesday night.  We leave for the airport Thursday morning and should be at the hotel by late afternoon. 
Friday we plan on heading to our new house to start stocking on basics and planning out where everything goes so we are prepared for the movers.  We are hoping that the 'Men' will arrive by Saturday evening.  We will then be in vacation mode until our stuff shows up so it will be a real balance between our eagerness to start putting our stamp on the house (we want to add ceiling fans, etc) and enjoying Florida.
Here's a partial list of items that I think are essential to take with us on the plane:
  1. water wings for ike
  2. sand toys
  3. ipods, computer, kindle and chargers
  4. towels
  5. legal documents--birth certificates, baptismal certificates, etc.
  6. gum so our ears will pop
  7. post it notes so I can put labels up for the movers at the new house
  8. scissors which I will put in our checked bag so they won't be confiscated
There is a whole seperate list for the van:
  1. Tank and Japaneese Manager and food for both
  2. Tank's leash and water dish
  3. Propane tank and other items movers can't take
  4. Towels
  5. Tank's crate?  in case we don't make it to the boarder on time on Saturday
