Packing for Vacation

So, my family and I are headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for vacation soon and I’m already thinking about what I’m going to pack for my daughter, my husband and for myself. Plus all of the beach toys, blankets, sun block, toiletries, snacks, etc… When I’m in the process of packing it feels like everything is a necessity. Then, when we are lugging everything from the car to the airport and back to the car from the airport, then to the hotel room I think, “Why did I pack all of this?”.

 On ListPlanIt.com I found an article which I really found helpful, and want to share it with you. There are some great tips on how to reduce stress when packing for a vacation by making a detailed list and sticking to it. Maybe I’ll put a piece of paper on the refrigerator now and just keep adding to the list at little each day. Then, before I start throwing everything in I’ll check the necessities and be sure they make it into the luggage first.

Which items do you make sure you pack when you travel?  Please share below in the Comment Section.

My Reasons to Travel this Summer

1. Festivals – You can find local festivals and state fairs anywhere you go.  Good ole’ family fun with the rides, carnival games and I can never pass up a funnel cake for the ride home. 
2. Water – Summer is my favorite season. I love the warmth from the bright sun and being able to enjoy water activities without freezing. Go canoeing or kayaking down a river, or zoom down a water slide at a water park. I’m sure we will go boating and fishing this summer. Some may say the best time to go whitewater rafting is the spring and fall because of the rapids but hey I can’t pass it up when the temperature reaches the high 80s and I can leave the wetsuit at home.
3. Beaches – Lay around, with sunscreen on, read a book, watch people walk by and when you get warm just walk into the ocean. I can’t wait!
4. Food – I would say my family is adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. Traveling is a good time to experience all of the wonderful tastes that are in all cities near and far. Ask a local where the “good” restaurants are and go enjoy a night out and a new experience. 
5. Deals, Deals and more Deals – It’s no surprise the economy is affecting everyone. So why not get the deal of a lifetime? We have advertisers running specials I’ve never seen in all my 7 years in the travel industry. Check out www.seeyathere.com and find great offers that will benefit you this summer.
6. Furry Friends are Welcome – I’ve noticed more and more accommodations offering rooms that allow pets. This is such a great addition! One of the most difficult tasks before we go anywhere is to find somewhere for the 2 dogs and 2 cats to go. Not to mention the extra cost the hotel is asking for is no where close to the cost of boarding them here. Plus why not get them out of their everyday surroundings?

I’m sure your thinking of something I’ve left off the list. Please share with us the reason why you will travel this summer.

See Ya There!

Traveling to Ohio or New Jersey this Summer or Fall?

Are you traveling to Ohio or New Jersey this Summer or Fall? I reside in Ohio and can tell you there are so many things to see, explore and experience. Ashland, OH has a lot of festivals through out the summer; check out their calendar of events.

The New Jersey Shore is very family oriented and they have everything from the Boardwalk, Amusement Parks on the beach, and a lot of history. It’s nice to be entertained on vacation. Catch a show at the East Lynn Theatre in Cape May and enjoy an evening in the Cape May area.

Our 2 Feature Destinations this week are Ashland County, OH and East Lynn Theatre Company, NJ.  Visit their pages to learn more about what they have to offer you this summer travel season.

Packing for Vacation

So, my family and I are headed to Myrtle Beach for vacation soon and I’m already thinking about what I’m gong to pack, what I’m going to pack my daughter and what my husband is going to pack. It’s a little obsessive don’t you think?  The excitement I feel when I think about a vacation is wonderful then quickly the words, “What will I pack?” rush into my head and immediately I feel overwhelmed. Quite insane!
