As we all know that Real Estate in salt lake is very famous.There is a lot of anecdotal evidence bouncing around the web between real estate agents that the bottom of the barrel has come and gone in Salt Lake City. Everyone wants to believe that better times are just around the corner, but rumors abound that the property values could dip another 30% before the worst is over. What's more, a market glutted with inventory and full of foreclosures and short sales is driving down property values all throughout the Salt Lake area.
According to one real estate agent quoted in Realty Times Market Conditions, Salt Lake saw a decline of home sales of about 26% between 2007 and 2008. As of March 2009 there were 8,372 residential homes for sale in Salt Lake County. The median price was $284,400 and the average list price was $385,217. There is simply too much inventory for the number of home buyers.

People are cautious to buy and also cautious to sell. In the New York Times article, "In the Grip of Indecision" Laura M. Holson writes, "For many homeowners who bought at the top of the market, admitting what now seems to have been a mistake is painful, and could keep them from selling, even though the decision may be a smart one." Oftentimes homeowners will avoid selling until it is too late. Foreclosure, and short sales are driving down the property values for their neighbors because appraisers use the foreclosure and short sale prices to determine the value of their homes.Although people are hesitant to buy right now, it is inarguably a great time to get in as a first time home buyer in Salt Lake City, or to buy a larger and more expensive home. The number of homes in the higher price range ($500,000 or greater) are seeing more time on the market. KSL reported on a wave of home foreclosures in St. George, UT. The article told of one person who was able to purchase a $2.8 million property for $800,000. Although higher-end bargains abound, homes priced in the first-time buyer range still move the fastest. Now FHA loans go up to $320,000 in the Salt Lake County so more people are able to buy.

Perhaps the most prudent thing to do, however, would be to rent. Many people relocating to the Salt Lake City area are moving their items into a storage shed and renting a furnished property until the market recovers. In this way, the tenants don't have to move their things multiple times. Corporate housing is furnished apartments where typically all rent, furniture, housewares, linens, and utilities are included at a flat rate. Typically this will save the client money over the cost of staying in a hotel, while offering all the comfort of having a kitchen, laundry, and double the square footage of a hotel room.

Air india by Indian girls

Air India (Hindi: एअर इंडिया) is a state-owned flag carrier, the oldest and the largest airline of India. It is part of the Indian government-owned Air India Limited (AIL). The airline operates a fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft serving Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. Its corporate office is located at the Air India Building at Nariman Point in South Mumbai. It is the 16th largest airline in Asia[dubious – discuss]. Air India has two major domestic hubs at Indira Gandhi International Airport and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. An international hub at Dubai International Airport is currently being planned.[1]
Star Alliance announced on 13 December 2007 that it had invited Air India to join as a member. After several delays, the final joining date was set at 31 July 2011.[2][3][4]. Air India failed to meet the minimum standards for membership for that deadline and as a result Air India's invitation to join the Star Alliance has been suspended. [5].

[edit]Early years
Main article: Tata Airlines
Air India was founded by J. R. D. Tata in July 1932 as Tata Airlines, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). On 15 October 1932, J. R. D. Tata flew a single-engined De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi's Drigh Road Aerodrome to Bombay's Juhu Airstrip via Ahmedabad. The aircraft continued to Madras via Bellary piloted by former Royal Air Force pilot Nevill Vintcent. In 1932 Air India was based out of a hut with a palm thatched roof at Juhu Aerodrome and had 1 pilot and 2 apprentice mechanics along with 2 piston engined aircraft, one Puss Moth and one Leopard Moth aircraft.[6][7]
[edit]Post-war expansion
Following the end of World War II, regular commercial service was restored in India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on 29 July 1946 under the name Air India. In 1948, after the independence of India, 49% of the airline was acquired by the Government of India, with an option to purchase an additional 2%. In return, the airline was granted status to operate international services from India as the designated flag carrier under the name Air India International. On 8 June 1948, a Lockheed Constellation L-749A named Malabar Princess (registered VT-CQP) took off from Bombay bound for London via Cairo and Geneva. This marked the airline's first long-haul international flight, soon followed by service in 1950 to Nairobi via Aden.
On 25 August 1953, the Government of India exercised its option to purchase a majority stake in the carrier and Air India International Limited was born as one of the fruits of the Air Corporations Act that nationalised the air transportation industry. At the same time all domestic services were transferred to Indian Airlines (now renamed as Indian). In 1954, the airline took delivery of its first L-1049 Super Constellations and inaugurated services to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
[edit]The jet age
Air India International entered the jet age in 1960 when its first Boeing 707-420, named Gauri Shankar (registered VT-DJJ), was delivered. Jet services to New York City via London were inaugurated that same year on 14 May 1960. On 8 June 1962, the airline's name was officially truncated to Air India. On 11 June 1962, Air India became the world's first all-jet airline.
In 1971, the airline took delivery of its first Boeing 747-200B named Emperor Ashoka (registered VT-EBD). This coincided with the introduction of the 'Palace In The Sky' livery and branding. A feature of this livery is the paintwork around each aircraft window, in the cusped arch style of windows in Indian palaces. In 1986 Air India took delivery of the Airbus A310-300; the airline is the largest operator of this type in passenger service. In 1988, Air India took delivery of two Boeing 747-300Ms in mixed passenger-cargo configuration.
[edit]Early 1990s
In 1993, Air India took delivery of the flagship of its fleet when the first Boeing 747-400 named Konark (registered VT-ESM) made history by operating the first non-stop flight between New York City and Delhi. In 1994 the airline was registered as Air India Ltd. In 1996, the airline inaugurated service to its second US gateway at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. In 1999, the airline opened its dedicated Terminal 2-C at the renamed Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai.
[edit]2000 – present
In 2000, Air India introduced services to Shanghai and to its third US gateway at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark. In May 2004, Air India launched a wholly owned low cost airline called Air-India Express. Air India Express connecting cities in India with the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Subcontinent. In 2004 Air India launched flights to its fourth US gateway at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles (which has since been terminated) and expanded its international routes to include flights from Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
On 1 December 2009, Air India introduced services to its fifth US gateway at Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., accessed via a stopover at JFK Airport in New York City. This service has been terminated.
Re-privatisation plans
In 2001, Air India was put up for sale by the then NDA government.[8] One of the bids was by a consortium of Tata Group-Singapore Airlines. However the re-privatisation plans were shelved after Singapore Airlines pulled out and the global economy slumped.[9]
Merger with Indian
In 2007, the Government of India announced that Air India would be merged with Indian. As part of the merger process, a new company called the National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) was established, into which both Air India (along with Air India Express) and Indian (along with Alliance Air) will be merged.
On 27 February 2011, Air India and Indian Airlines merged along with their subsidiaries to form Air India Limited.
Financial crisis
Around 2006–2007, the airlines began showing signs of financial distress. The combined losses for Air India and Indian in 2006-07 were  770 crores ( 7.7 billion). After the merger of the airlines, this went up to  7,200 crores ( 72 billion) by March 2009.[10] This was followed by restructuring plans which are still in progress.[11] In July 2009, SBI Capital Markets Ltd was appointed to prepare a road map for the recovery of the airline.[12] The carrier sold three Airbus A300 and one Boeing 747-300M in March 2009 for $18.75 million to survive the financial crunch.[13]
Air India's corporate headquarters is located at the Air India Building at Nariman Point in South Mumbai. The airline moved there in 1970. The Air India Building also serves as a regional office for Indian.
Delhi Hub
On 1 March 2009, Air India had made Frankfurt Airport at Frankfurt am Main as its international hub for onward connections to United States from India; however, the airline shut down the Frankfurt hub on 30 October 2010. However on July 14, 2010 Air India chief, Arvind Jadhav announced their intention to make the new terminal 3 at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport the hub for international and domestic operations with the plans of starting new direct flights to Chicago and Toronto and also taking almost all international long haul flights away from its former Primary hub at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport due to lack of space.[14] This would also provide greater convenience for transit passengers who before had to transfer between the international and domestic terminals which were located on completely different sides of the airport. They will now be able to catch their connecting flights within the same terminal.
Return to profitability plans
The new Chairman and Managing director wants to change the order of some of the 111 planes ordered in 2006 to get narrow-body aircraft instead of the wide-body aircraft.[15]

[edit]Livery


Boeing 747-400 in 1970–2007 Palace In The Sky livery


The present Air India Livery on the Boeing 777-300ER


Air India One
1970–2007 livery
Air India's livery was mostly painted in red and white colours. The bottoms of the aircraft remain metal and unpainted but the upper portion is given a white background along with the airline's name written in red. The name is in Hindi on one side and in English on the other. The painted on red palace style carvings on the outside of the windows refer to their slogan "your palace in the sky" which is written on the back of the aircraft. Near the noses of Air India aircraft, the air plane is given a name. Most planes are named after powerful Indian kings or landmarks. Finally, the tail is mostly red with again, the carrier's name written in Hindi on one side and English on the other.
In 1989, to supplement its "Flying Palace" livery, Air India introduced a new "sun" livery that was mostly white with a golden sun on a red tail. Only applied to around a half of Air India's fleet, the new livery did not succeed, as the Indian flying public complained about the phasing out of the classic colours. The livery was dropped after two years and the old scheme was returned.
Pre-merger livery
On 15 May 2007, Air India refreshed its livery, making the Rajasthani arches along the windows slightly smaller, extending a stylised cheatline from the vertical tail of the aircraft to the nose, and painting a small portion of the underbelly red. Additionally, engine nacelles are now deep red, and a gold-coloured version of the airline's stylized Konark trademark now adorns both the vertical tail and engine nacelles.
Post-merger livery
On May 22, 2007, Air India and Indian unveiled their new livery. The logo of the new airline is a Flying Swan with the Konark Chakra placed inside it. The Flying Swan has been morphed from Air India’s characteristic logo, ‘The Centaur’ whereas the ‘Konark Chakra’ is reminiscent of Indian’s logo.
The new logo features prominently on the tail of the aircraft. Individually the Konark Chakra also features on all the engines of the aircraft. The choice of colours namely red for “Flying Swan” and orange for “Konark Chakra” are meant to signify vigour and advancement. Further the colours also have a strong association with two carriers thereby retaining the earlier imagery of traditional hospitality and service.
While the aircraft is ivory in colour, the base retains the red streak of Air India. Running parallel to each other is the Orange and Red speed lines from front door to the rear door, subtly signifying the individual identities merged into one. The brand name ‘Air India’ runs across the tail of the aircraft in hindi.

Air India Serious About Pleasure by Indian girls

Air India is the victim of a great number of jokes and as an Airline is often the focus of a huge amount of criticism. Air India is the state owned Airline of the country of India. Many people say that they would not fly Air India even if they were desperate for a flight which indicates that among some people at least Air India does have a image and even a reputation problem.....

Here writer, broadcaster and airline connoisseur Safiq Ali Patel travels by Air India and asks is the overall flying experience that Air India provide really as bad as Air India's critics say it is. Or are there good points and pleasure to be gained from flying Air India. Reporter and traveller Safiq Ali Patel investigates for you on Hubpages.com

I’ve heard all about Air India. Chances are you have heard too about the bad attitude of its staff to its safety record and more. But rather than allow myself to be guided by what I’ve heard about Air India I decided to take a return Air India flight from London Heathrow to Ahmadabad in Northern Gujarat.

Air India aside from operating flights out of its main bases at New Delhi Indira Ghandi International Airport, and Chatrapatti International Airport in Mumbai, also has a growing number of regional and secondary bases the airline flies in and out of. Along with Chennai and Kolkata the airline has an expanding number of services flying from Amritsar, Ahmadabad, and Trivandrum. These cities now have return Air India flights flying to Canada, The United Kingdom and The United States of America. Clearly Air India is one of the major airlines operating between the US, UK, Canada and India. The airline is also becoming a major force among airlines operating out of India. The Airline provides connection to Bangkok, Singapore, Arabia and plans flights due to start to Australia soon too.

It’s worthy of mentioning here that Air India and a former independent airline based in India known as Indian Airlines have now merged. Indian Airlines is now part of the aviation company of India and operates jointly as a part of Air India. As a result of this merge Air India has a large network of flights to every state in India and further afield to Hong Kong and other parts of Far East Asia. If you need to fly to any part of India in most cases for the longer journey’s that you’d take a long distance train for Air India can take you there for a very reasonable fare and at a much faster speed. I flew from Baroda in Gujarat to Mumbai at a total cost of around 30USD one way. A great price and at great speed too.

Now back to what I was telling your about. I wanted to find out for myself what it was like to fly Air India. I arrived at London Heathrow to check in for my 9.30pm Friday evening flight outbound from London Heathrow to Ahmadabad. Much to my surprise by 4.30pm, with over 5hrs to go the Air India check in desks were open much earlier than other airlines do. Though there was a long line of people ahead of me waiting to check in, this line of people moved fast and in no time at all I was at the front of the queue. The Check in staff was personable and friendly and check in was quick. The baggage allowance allowed by Air India was truly amazing. Air India allows a staggering 45 kilogram’s of luggage to be transported on a economy class ticket. A great feature if you have a large family or are on business and need to fly into or out of India heavy than most airlines permit.

Most airlines only allow 28 Kilogram’s of baggage to be flown onboard their aircraft including the so called five star airlines such as Emirates and Qatar Airway. On top of this huge baggage allowance of 45 kilogram’s Air India also permit this amount of baggage to be carried in two suitcases rather than the conventional one suitcase allowed by most of the world airline carriers. What a plus was my reaction. Always check with Air India for their most up to date baggage allowance before you fly. And on top of this large allowance for baggage I was a permitted to take up to 10 Kilograms on board as hand luggage, though I personally chose to board light carrying only a passport wallet.

After check in I still had time to spend time talking on my mobile and to do a little shopping before making my way to the departure gate to board. The pace of boarding was swift and Air India’s welcome was amazingly packed with colour, style and tradition. A Air Hostess dressed in a violet sequined fanned uniform put her hands in the prayerful and gently bowed her head to welcome me on board air India. She said “Namashkaar” with her inviting sparkling eyes and polished cheekbones. I replied to this dashing welcome by saying Namashkaar to you too.” Of all the airlines of the world that spend huge amounts of money and staff training to come up with their welcome Air India had to be about one of the best. The welcome was fiercely Indian and emotive. The colours of the outfit and the elegant tone of the greeting tantalised my senses. The welcome was packed with mystery and radiated confidence and genuine humility customary with people who live spiritual lives devoted to the service of gods in India.

I was offered help to find my seat but was able to find the seat on my own. The seat was broad, deep and comfortable to sit in. In fact though out the 8+ hours flight I wasn’t once sweaty or stiff which tells me that though Air India doesn’t spend millions advertising it seats like it’s rivals do, and yet Air India does provide a very comfortable seat to fly in. The emergency drill ran in English and Hindi and the flight left exactly on time. Not a minute too early or too late. The plane was fully boarded by 9.10 not too early not too late.

The decor of Air India planes is something to write home about. The seats are coloured deep red and paisley flowers decorate the panels of the airplane. An Air India plane is not a plane it is a Palace in the Sky. As I applied my watchful eye all over the aircraft I saw a painted floral sign that said “Air India-Your Palace In The Sky.” Air India planes are styled like royal places and named after planets and stars in ancient Hindi language. The airline has several mascots including Sagittarius with his bow and arrow painted bold red. This philosophy of the airlines is delicately embedded in the styling of the aircraft, it cabin crew clothing at key positions throughout its aircraft livery.

The Sari’, a traditional Indian silk fabric wrapped round the body is worn by some female Hostesses. Some Saris are red, some are gold, and some are green. Some Air India hostesses wear a Punjabi style knee length cotton dress with trousers in red and white. The male cabin crew wear white shirts with pilot styled lapels and black trousers with polished black shoes. The females wear floral sandals for footwear. The Uniforms carry some sign of the ranking of each member of Air India’s crew. The Air India Air Hosts and Hostesses discipline showed and so too did their teamwork, delivering authority, fashion, glee, blended with simplicity, austerity and commitment and an appealing regiment and rhythm.

Not long after take off the air hosts and hostesses came round in their smart attire giving us passengers’ juice and crisps for early snacks. As the vast Boeing 747 climbed into the night sky I laid back into my chair and sipped my orange juice feeling a sense of belonging in the moon and star lit sky that I have not felt before while travelling. Night flying can make passengers feel more exhausted than usual and can have stresses. But not on this Air India flight. I knew from my very brief interaction and from the maturity of the Air India Cabin Crew on this flight that I was in good hands. Already the fine blending of colours, the charming staff, the comfortable seats and the night flying had teased my senses into a feeling of deep satisfaction, trust and pleasure. I was set and happy.

Duty frees came round but very low key. The flight was non smoking and thankfully ran so well I had no interest in smoking. Flights are so often disruptive to the mind. Now I couldn’t quiet put my finger on it but Air India managed to inject a certain relaxation into my soul that most airlines fail to do. It wasn’t just me who was enjoying a quiet and comfortable flight, it seemed from the laid back people on board that everyone found the freshness and calmness and smooth tone of the flight relaxing. Rarely do I see passengers languishing in their seats as I noticed on this flight..

Our journey on this Air India Jumbo Jet continued and as we soared through the night sky over Europe. At barely on hour after take off the air in the plane was lit up even more by the gentle armour of soft spices fresh and from Southern India cooking. I knew from this that food was on its way. And while being heated in the Air India Galley ovens the smell said to me the food was going to be good. Around 1 and a half hours into the flight the hostess asked “Sir are you ready to eat,”. I opened my table and an aromatic dish of Pumpkin, Turnip, Potato, Carrot and Reddish with Rye seeds and spices rested in the corner of the dish. It looked good, it smelt great and it tasted like an odyssey of flavours in my mouth. This was served with soft thick grains of flavoured Pillau rice and a mixed courgette and Okra curry. I ate and feasted simultaneously. The food tasted better than words can describe. The portions were of a good size and there was even some sealed fresh Yoghurt to top the rice. The knives and forks were real steel and were embossed with the traditional air India logo. The food was so smooth and tasty and slid down my throat and into my stomach a treat. The mineral water was fresh and chilled and the salad was crunch. What made this Air India meal so special was the traditional cutlery and the basic ingredients which were all “health food” packed with protein and calcium and those glorious nutrients and flavour that are so natural to India and Indian Vegetarian cooking. The aroma was fit for the kings own private plane. So seductive I said to myself “Oh god....mmmm. This meal was definitely no boiled airline meal but a blended and calculated combination of nutrients designed to induce pleasure emotions and culinary joy”

After the meal I laid back and rested for a couple of hours. The blinds came down, the dim lights came on and people generally rested. Over 300 people on a Boeing 747 usually make noise but not so on what became a special flight. The crowd laid back as chilled as could be all enjoying the film that was subtitled in the speech. The overhead screens attached at each Galley entrance point display a map of the journey. That ambiance that is so lacking on flights these days was alive, well and renewed on board Air India.

I woke up after a comfortable snooze and decided I wanted to stay awake for the rest of the Air India flight to India to enjoy the colours, the flavours, the charm, the overall symphony of pleasure that was taking place around me. Gradually 5 hours into the flight the light of day, the bright yellow sunshine over southern Russia was visible.

I was in the grips of yet another sensory delight. The cabin crew raised some of the window covers and allowed a refined amount of sunshine to warm the cabin. The colour of the sun was beautiful and lit up the inside of the plane like a rare gold and bright Indian morning in crispy pale gold colours. My indulgent senses were given another pleasure boost when the soft scent of breakfast could be smelt cooking on board Air India flight AI 120

Just a short while later I was served with Puri a soft warm and crispy Indian bread breakfast with morning vegetables and soft Indian butter fried eggs. Oh reader I have to say pleasure was all mine for every moment I was resting this food on my taste buds. I say sheer.....and then words fail me again. This breakfast or Nashtaah as referred to in Air India’s home language which means breakfast was so good so indescribably good.

So here I am onboard an Air India jetliner, glancing at skimmed streams of steam flowing from the 747 engines. I’ve forgotten and forgiven every sad joke I ever heard or told about Air India. In fact I was full of repentance for so many bad jokes. I was even wondering while breakfasting why so much criticism is in the air when Air India had turned what is usually flight that is a chore in a flight with Air India that was uniquely India and so uniquely Air India. The airline meals served on this flight for late supper and then as breakfast the following morning were just out of this world good. The quality of meals served on Air India are a thoughtfully blended combination of meals that taste good and feel good when eaten and give you a lasting feel good afterwards. The refreshments like milk cooked teas were memorable too. Air India is no joke. It is seriously an Airline and key elements of the service it delivers are just excellent.

I could feel the aircraft dropping altitude and I knew soon I will be landing in India. This journey into Ahmedabad International Airport was quick and smooth. The ride itself was like taking a cruise into the stars. The aircraft was smooth flying and I know rarely are flights as hassle free, as smooth running and as relaxing as this Air India flight. At around 8 and half hours after boarding we had arrived in India. Touch down was firm and well co-ordinated. I disembarked onto a bus to journey to the airport building, and from my place on the airport bus I placed both hands together and gave Air India a deep and heartfelt salute in traditional Indian hands placed together. I was deeply thankful of Air India all the way. Looking back I am deeply in admiration of so much about Air India. Airline travel on so many airlines has lost it’s something special. Air India still has that something special on board. I’d been fed and comforted all the way to India by Air India’s staff. I said thank you to the Cabin Crew and I meant this most sincerely. I admired the beauty of an Air India plane one last time as I travelled towards the Airport building. I’d completed a flight that wasn’t just a flight it was a journey into pleasure. It was just as you’d expect, a flying palace, a palace in the sky with goodness, esteem, bright white mist and so much more. Air India was certainly much more generous and better planned than many 21^st Century Airlines.

Air India’s enduring mascot since the airline first commenced airliner services to London, Geneva and Cairo in the 1940’s is the King or “Maharaja”. This Air India flight that I’d flown treated me like the Maharaja’s own guard and son. I’d bathed in style, eaten like a decorated soldier, and rested like a flying prince. I’d read a deeply satisfying Air India In-flight magazine “Namaskar”, and I’d enjoyed the glitz of the evening stars and the serenade of morning colours. I come face to face with Indian beauty, my expectations of hospitality had been surpassed, I’d arrived flown in a melody of pleasure. I just could not see the joke. Air India was royal and Indian all the way.

Thank you Emperor Maharaja and thank you Air India I said to myself. My flight with Air India was so much better than I could ever have imagined. Finely blended pleasure put together by the King. The Maharaj’s airline was better than I could imagine in this age of low cost and cost cutting travel. Every moment lined with respect, duty and care. I believe that Air India has made its journey from being a developing world airline to being a full service industry delight in the 21^st Century. Not a joke but a secret gemstone. What a pleasure flying is with Air India.

In my next hub about Air India later this year I will tell you about the Journey back from Ahmadabad to London on board Air India. In a separate hub later this year reader I will tell you more about Air India’s journey from its beginnings to today.

Makes Lists and Get Things Done Early

Most birthday party planning begins with having a child say something like, "I want a Spiderman birthday party." In other words, the theme is the place to start. In the unlikely or rare event that your child has not yet announced his wishes regarding a theme, ask.

If the child has outgrown Disney princesses or Spiderman, or if he has no particular, obvious, interests on which to build a theme; decide on two or three colors as a theme. Good choices for boys' parties are one or two primary colors (with or without white, depending on whether you want a more summer-like color scheme). Most girls have a favorite pastel color or two. Choosing one pastel color and white or two pastel colors for girls works well.

Choosing a color or two with silver or gold can help create yet another theme. Pale lilac and silver balloons make a nice them for girls of any age. Red, gold, and silver balloons can ad a "techno" look for a boys' party. There is also, of course, choosing a multi-color theme, in either primary or pastel colors.

Deciding on a theme, and keeping it in mind, will help guide you in all the other choices involved in planning a party.

In general, planning and preparation for a home birthday party can be done in two phases - Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 involves considering the theme, coming up with ideas, shopping for things that will keep, and getting some tasks done as early as possible. (Sometimes it turns out the local party store doesn't have Spiderman tablecloths after all, and an online order can take extra time.)

Phase 1 may take a couple of evening hours of planning and list-making, followed by shopping and a few extra tasks at home; but making and checking off lists as early as possible will leave little left to be done in the days just before the party.

You will need two types of lists: Lists of things to buy (or if you already have them, get out and know where they are) and a list of things to do.
