After finishing the unpacking last night I thought of some more tips to share. I think I may have shared some of these before, but it never hurts to be reminded.
1. When packing for vacation, always pack an extra bag or duffel for the items that will be purchased while you are there. We always have more when we come back from vacation, then we did when we went. On this trip I should have taken a couple of empty boxes! Ha, ha, ha!
2. If you are going someplace and are at liberty to stay as long as you want. Plan ahead, just in case you do. This is where the extras in the car come in handy!
3. Prepaid Debit Cards! These are the handiest little inventions, much easier to keep up with than Travelers Checks and less hassle as well. I had purchased one for Cassidy to take on her day trip with her cousins so she had money as well. She felt the big shot and I didn’t have to worry about her spending more than she should. I am definitely going to use these on our next vacation.
4. Remember you are on vacation. When visiting family especially, we sometimes forget to relax. It’s still a vacation! Treat everyone to dinner or a movie. Have fun!
I am off to restock the car and start breakfast!
