Road Trip Check List
Months Ahead
~Plan your trip
~Start looking for special deals and other discounts for which you may qualify.
~Do some research on the area you will be visiting and on the way you will be getting there.
~Take care of all medical and dental appointments before going.
Three Weeks Ahead
~Watch the weather, so you’ll know what to expect and can pack accordingly.
~Check your ATM and debit card for both daily and total limits.
~Check cameras, purchase new batteries if necessary, and film.
~Start breaking in the shoes you’ll be taking with you on your trip.
Two Weeks Ahead
~Reconfirm all your reservations.
~Check your insurance for expiration dates and coverage for your automobile, home and the valuables that you’ll take with you, as well as those you’ll leave at home.
~If traveling by car, get the car checked and have the oil changed. Don’t wait until the last minute, it may take time to get an appointment and parts may need to be ordered. You also want some time to drive around town and make sure that whatever they fixed stays fixed.
One Week Ahead
~Get out the suitcase and start your packing.
~Check prescriptions for necessary refills; bring a list with the drug’s generic name listed since the brand names available can differ in other areas.
One Day Before
~Fill the car with gas before you pack the car. Check the fluid levels and tire pressure, since your tire pressure will effect the ride and gas mileage you get on your trip.
Road Trip Tips
~Bring along plenty of water and munchies in the car. It will be much cheaper to buy these at the grocery store than pay the convenience store prices. It might also save you some extra stops.
~Sticking to water will be much easier on your body than drinking lots of cola. Remember to avoid large amounts of caffeine. Caffeine can wear on your nerves. If the driver needs large amounts of caffeine to stay awake then it’s time to pull over for the night.
~Have the adults keep control of the munchies so mealtimes aren’t ruined. You don’t want to get yourself sick with all the junk food along the roadside, so you might want to consider eating a healthy meal or at least bring some healthy snacks.
~If it has ever made them sick at home, there seems to be a guarantee that it will make them sick on the road.

Wow! What an awesome list. I should print that out to remember it for the trip. This is going to be so exciting!
Anyway, I wouldn't really worry too much about Sheryl. It's not your fault you applied and it's not your fault you got her job. That's just how life is.
Well, I love you and I'll update when I get back from having tea. Tata! - yeah, right. lol Talk to you later.
