- Place one of the lawn chairs underneath my window both so that I can get out without having to go over the 5-foot drop blind, and so that when I return I can get back in without having to do something ridiculous. (Yes, anything and everything to avoid having to go through my blasted bead curtain, which would probably wake the whole house. And because the window is more fun anyway
) - Take a nap Thursday afternoon!
- Pack a backpack with...
- Mexican blankets (at least one, but two if they'll fit because rocks are cold in the middle of the night)
- flashlight!
- food/snack?
- Stow backpack either in my room or in the car.
- Bring car keys, winter coat, gloves, etc. back to my room before going to bed. Make sure my sneakers are in my room and not the kitchen.
- Write a note to leave on my pillow so that if my parents do happen to realize I'm gone, they won't call the police. Also in case something happens and I don't come back (which is highly unlikely, but you never know), the police will know where to start looking.

And no, I'm not telling you what I'm doing! Just be assured that it is neither dangerous nor immoral nor illegal. Well, actually it might be illegal, but only in an irrelevant sort of way.

And I am looking forward to it like the dickens!
