Your family vacations were far more hideous in childhood than mine. Dad wasn't so safety minded as yours, thank goodness. We had a station wagon, and being the youngest I got the whole "back-back" space behind the backseat all to myself. Being so short, it let me see everything. To this day, I credit that with being able to read lying down and preferring to sit on the floor rather than in chairs. I second the praise for air-conditioning. Keep your blogs coming. You're a joy to share life's adventures with. Aaack. Your family vacations were far more hideous in childhood than mine. Dad wasn’t so safety minded as yours, thank goodness.

I bought a plastic casing that you can get online and that allows you to use it underwater -- took it snorkeling in Hawaii. Have a great roadtrip and keep us updated -- those of us bound to our cubicles will love to live vicariously through you! :) I have a flip!

Aaaaahhhhhhhh ... good times. Happy not to repeat them, but fun to remember. Hope your trip is awesome! As for GPS systems, I have a Garmin. Easiest gadget I've ever used. Seriously. Highly recommend.
