Going Somewhere?

It's a pleasure to pack for a trip when you're going by car. You don't care how many ounces your liquids are. You don't care how much luggage you take or how much it weighs, as long as you can carry it to the trunk. And the overhead bin is your back seat as long as no one is sitting there.

The driveway is your runway and your schedule is your own. There's no gate check-in and you are free to depart whenever you want to leave. The only clearance you need is from your co-pilot who runs down the checklist.

Hotel Reservations: Check.
Maps: Check
Gas: Check
Directions: Check
Glasses: Check
Snacks (free): Check
Pillows (also free): Check

Mosquito repellant: Check
Flashlights: Check

House keys: Check
Credit Cards: Check
Cash: Not so much but, yes, Check.

Did we forget anything? We'll find out when we get there.
