Creature Comforts to Pack
Part of the fun of the road trip is the drive.
The comfort items you pack here are dependent on your destination. If you are headed for a nice weekend at a bed and breakfast, then the camping chairs may not be necessary. The Oreos shouldn’t be left behind for multiple reasons. They are milk’s favorite cookie, they don’t melt, and they are Al’s favorite, too.
