“Guide to Summer Vacay”
1. If you can arrive at your destination in 6-7 hours or less...DRIVE! Flights are an absolute nightmare. And, on average, you’ll spend 6-7 hours in the airport – from checking in, going through security, sitting at your gate, delays, delays, delays, finally getting in the air on a connecting flight, grabbing your luggage from the carrier and getting your vehicle whether you are renting or Ubering. If you can drive it in 6-7 hours, just drive – UNLESS you can fly directly to your destination without a connecting flight.
2. If you fly, prepare your mind, heart, head, and spirit for DELAYS and cancellations and inconveniences.
3. Do not take it out on the airport staff. They did not mess up your flight. They are dealing with you and everyone else whose flight just got screwed up. Be kind to them. Be patient. Smile.
4. If you’re flying, here’s what to wear: something light and breathable. Dress in layers. Dress comfortably! I wore black joggers, a tank top, and a light, loose-fitting jacket/cardigan. Wear comfortable shoes! I wore cute, chunky flip-flops. If I got cold, I had fuzzy socks to slip on. The flights were mostly warm-to-hot, especially as we had to sit for a while. Once in the air, they cooled down but if you’re stuck on a tarmac, expect to be WARM. My feet get hot, so I’d rather have on flops b/c it keeps me a little cooler. And if I get cold, I pull out my fuzzy, warm socks and it gives me a little added warmth.
5. If you’re flying, here’s what to pack in your carry-on: anything you might need if you’re stuck overnight without your luggage.
