Who all has amazing trips planned for this summer? I know I do! I compiled a list of everything that is a MUST HAVE for every trip you have planned.
1. Comfortable Clothing To Wear On The Plane or In The Car.
Because airplanes are cold and if you're like me, you cannot be comfortable enough in the car to fall asleep. So wear comfortable clothing, you can at least control that part of getting cozy.
2. SNACKS!!!!!!!!!
Who is always broke and hungry??? ME. Bring your own snacks along so you don't spend a million dollars at the airport. I hate of expensive a coffee and a bagel come out to be, but your girl needs her caffeine.
3. Some Type of Entertainment
Whether that would include a movie, a book, a magazine, etc. If you get stuck waiting between flights (unless you have to run to make your connection, I am so sorry, I feel the pain) then at least you have something to do while you wait around on the airport floor.
4. Charging Cords Of Course
How are you supposed to watch movies or play that game on your phone if it dies because you forgot charging cords?? Then you're bored again. So don't forget them.
5. A Jacket or Blanket
Now, I always get cold. It's who I am. But airplanes are freezing flying machines. If you get cold I highly recommend bringing something like these to stay warm.
6. Headphones
Again, for all your entertainment purposes. Nobody really wants to hear you watch 'Frozen' for the six thousandth time, even if you can recite the whole thing by heart.
7. Medicine
You never know what could happen during a long day of travel, you could eat something bad or get a terrible migraine. Stuff happens. So just be prepared and pack some Tums and some Advil. If you get motion sickness try Dramamine. It works wonders.
8. Hand Sanitizer
People are disgusting. People travel when they are sick. People don't wash their hands. People. Are. Gross. Don't catch a cold or become ill on your trip because someone else decided to infect the world. Bring hand sanitizer and keep an eye out for the sick people.
9. A Back Pack/Book Bag
You need a way to carry all of this fantastic (and useful) stuff!!! Depending on how much you bring can affect which bag you bring also. If you aren't bringing much, maybe try a fanny pack. If you plan on bringing your whole house, try a back pack!
10. Enjoy Your Trip
Although traveling can be a pain in the rear end, be sure to take some time to relax and enjoy your trip. Wherever you go. Everyone deserves a little relaxation, especially after traveling.
Until next time,
