As we get things ready for our first road trip of 2012, I am trying not to lose my mind!
I am making lists of the lists I need to make, shopping for shoes and clothes for the journey, and researching ways of staying awake while driving long distances. I made travel conversation topics lists, got a notebook for the Husband to write down decisions and ideas as I drive, and have mapped out how we need to pack everything in the car to make it fit.
I have researched our trip exhaustively, made a Google Map with all of the addresses for each of our major destinations, looked up gas prices, downloaded helpful road-trip apps, and more. You would think that after 5 years of road trips I would be better prepared.
I am reminded of all the things NOT to do that we learned before... For example, DON'T forget your pillows when you got to the Oklahoma family's house, because clothes stuffed in pillow cases is not the same.
Up next, destinations!
