Just 5 weeks til vacation!
We will be heading up to the Canadian Rockies this year, a little something different for us, as a usual getaway for us is a weekend trip to the Smokies or a few days at the beach in Florida. This year is a little different, though, as it marks 35 years of marriage!
So we are at that stage of making lists, shopping, pulling out dusty luggage.
Our own world traveler, Carrie, is our advisor on TSA regulations - what to check, what to carry on, what goes in that little ziploc bag...
She is a wealth of information:
- No peanuts or trail mix across the border
- Take a huge bag and say it's your purse, then you can take another bag as your 'carry on' luggage.
- Carry on all your valuables (because they might get stolen otherwise) - things like camera, laptop, etc.
Everything is so different this year, just a few thoughts running through my mind:
boots, socks, jeans, sweaters
instead of sunscreen, flip-flops, beach towels
transportation will be different this year
airplane rides and rental car
instead of pick up truck pulling a camper
accommodations will be different this year
hotels and motels and cabins
instead of camper, campsites, and fire rings
dining will be different this year
eating out, fast food, sit-down restaurants
instead of cooking out or picnics
the check list is even different
passports, luggage, plane tickets
instead of firewood, groceries, water
Scattered thoughts from a scattered brain! Hopefully it will all come together in time for a great experience! Keeping our fingers crossed...
