The warm weather calls for minimalist style. Nothing too overwhelming just clothing that is simple, stylish and easy to wear.
To me that means beautiful accessories without overdoing it. Perhaps a statement piece of a simple set of silver bangles. Loose clothing, and short dresses. Sandals that are comfortable to walk in and pretty to look at.
I adore the gypset styles of delicate yet ornate pieces from all over the globe. Such effortless styles wit so much meaning behind it.
American culture will probably never establish a more indelible vision of a family trip than the movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” where an overly zealous dad loads up a gaudy station wagon with three weeks’ worth of supplies and parades his family from Chicago to southern California along a four-lane asphalt strip of misadventures.
It’s the kind of thing to give you a screaming nightmare about your own upcoming travels.
But you don’t have to be a Griswold, and your trip doesn’t have to be the vacation disaster that Clark had. If we spent as much time planning the logistics of our travel as we did the hotels and sights we plan to use, we’d be far less likely to stagger through the desert in a sunburned daze.
So let’s be pragmatic and straight to the point.
First of all, the old rule of “trust but verify” remains relevant here. A GPS is a big time saver and a handy tool, but take a moment to review the route it provides you and make sure it’s the most direct. Spend some time reviewing current traffic data and make sure that you aren’t trying to drive on a parking lot.
Next, take your grain of salt. Remember that hotel reviews and those wonderfully framed photos provided on lodging sites can’t be fully trusted. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Check with friends (and, with social media, friends of friends of friends) and get reliable personal experiences with hotels, condos, and so on.
Remember who you’re traveling with. Every hour of time on the road is an hour that kids need to occupy, and assigning them to watch for license plates won’t cut it–especially if you’re stuck nose to tail in Atlanta traffic. Buy them a new app just for the trip and let them spend the road time familiarizing themselves with it.
Kids are notorious for getting sick fast. They do it at home, so why wouldn’t they do it on vacation? Get all your over-the-counter needs bagged up–fever reducer, motion sickness medicine, and of course, anti-diarrheal. Venturing out at 3am to seek these items locally is miserable. Have a medicine bag and USE IT.
Bear in mind what you’re leaving at home, keep climate in consideration. Apart from making provisions for Fido, secure your home thoroughly and have your mail held by the post office. If you’re feeling cooler temps in places like Buffalo or Cincinnati, and all you’re used to the heat of Phoenix or San Diego, be sure to remember that there is indoor heated storage available for items that need it.
Finally, consider what you’ll be traveling home with. No, not sunburned ears or sand in your shoes. What might you buy on your trip? Have you made plans to get those items home safely? Make sure that the awesome stuff you pick up in unique local shops will make it back to its appointed sconce at your home. Bring a few empty bags to go with all your full ones.
The purpose of a vacation is to get away from stresses and worries. Planning ahead will make sure you don’t end up like the Griswold’s on their vacation – so don’t ruin your getaway!
