Road trip!





I'm leaving on a road trip..And I can hardly wait! I'm heading off on a much-deserved and needed vacation with my family.

I've been preparing for weeks, booking places, reading guide book, and reviews, mining restaurants recommendations from friends and clients and most important, perfecting my packing.
For those who know me well can say I'm a bit a crazy packer(well.. well I might say it back to you, is because I have three children)it all started with them...
There is a difference between packing for a road trip and packing for any other because, I'm not one of those people who throws everything into a bag two hours before we leave, I actually start laying everything out a week before I go.

I like to pack a lot of things with me just in case I might need them -It'd be easy to bring everything -but the kitchen sink.My hubby told me that I cannot fit the entire house in the car so for this I have to come up with a very sweet and short packing list.
I create this packing list and I crossed many things off with the help of my hubby of course, who doesn't like my way of packing. Really?

So what can I say my family road trips usually leads to one serious headache: when to put that endless pile of stuff that I love packing.

With a "little" effort on my part, packing light was easy, not really but I will try to do my best.
But this trip is not all about packing is about taking our kids on the road no matter the extra effort on my light packing.... is really worth it!The special memories we'll create and the fun times that we will have. I know-I know,
we have teenagers and when you've got teens,you've got a different set of challenges, but we are ready to face them and we are all looking forward to deepen our relationships with each other and were excited for a wonderful family experience.
