Things I've realized from our trips:
2. I NEED to have 2 pillows to get a good night's sleep.
3. I spend a lot of time compiling road trip entertainment. Music, books and magazines to read aloud, DVDs and our laptop to connect to the auxiliary plug, games that don't require boards, a notebook for us to write lists in, etc. I also wanted to bring my old Spanish textbook so we could quiz each other, but Seth didn't think that sounded like entertainment :)
Two pillow -- agreed! I think all your entertainment choices sounds great. I would roadtrip with you anytime!
ReplyDeleteyep!
ReplyDeleteI need two as well.
On my Europe trip back in 2011, I knew I would have trouble because I didn't bring a pillow. I packed extra light. Sleeping was really hard for me since I didn't have that extra pillow.
