Part 2 of the Family Trip

  This is part two of our Family vacation Trip. Well we got our passports which was a HUGE concern, now on to other fun. We sat down and wrote out a list of items we had to get done, had to do, or had to buy. Seriously my list looked insane and still does. Well my first issue to tackle was to figure out spacing in the car. There is so much space and so much stuff u can carry. So I got the good ole tape measure out and I measured out and mapped out every single spare space in that vehicle and honestly my hubby still thinks I am nuts over it. The cool thing is we get all of our junk in their plus more, Yeah. The other reason I measured everything is so that I can custom make things to fit. Example K car seat the trays that were for booster seats, I saw so many issues with it.  Watch for post on storage solutions I came up with.

   Well so far I am thinking I got a handle on this trip though what I wasn't banking on was the date being moved up by 3 weeks and a snag on renovations. My head is still spinning and trying to rework many of the plans that was already in place though I spent most of yesterday making calls and rescheduling things.  When you are making a long trip like this, you sure don't want to many hiccups in it. I for one do not like hiccups and try to avoid them. One of the calls I made was to our financial institutes..I had all of our cards that we would be using replaced for new ones. I also confirmed that they had place notes on the account that we would be using it that way it wouldn't flag a Fraud alert.

   As of right now I am still in overwhelmed mode once I get that worked out. I will tell you more as of right now watch the blog...I will be sharing stuff that I will be using for the trip.
