My favorite way to pack for a road trip with family

I love road trips with the family.  I love to get in the car and drive to a new place every day or two.  It is great.  What I don’t like is the luggage!  More than once I have felt tired just looking at all the luggage we needed to haul into the hotel [...]

Friday Inspiration – Of All The Books

Who doesn't look at their passport from time to time and think, "Now that was a good trip!" I love looking through mine as it reminds me of days past, having fun and making memories. I'm really glad the State Department sends the old passports back so that I can continue to do this [...]

Why it’s OK to leave on an around the world trip without knowing exactly what you will be doing in each destination

  “Remember that thanksgiving we spent in the campervan in New Zealand when we couldn’t find marshmallows for our fruit salad so we bought those ducky marshmallows and cut them up?”  Amber said. Sophia answers, “Yeah, [now with New Zealand on her mind] remember when Elizabeth kept touching that object that was supposed to bring [...]
