Does anyone actually enjoy packing? Yes there is the anticipation of the long-awaited holiday – the imaginings of sun, sea and surf, the poolside cocktails, the lazy lunches (though in our case perhaps its more the flat tires and roadside assistance). But for me packing is an unhappy fact of going on holiday, the part where you try fruitlessly to squeeze in those extra (entirely unnecessary) 3 pairs of trousers or never-to-be-worn summer dresses, plus the little luxuries (earl grey teabags – only british will do). I imagine our road trip will take us through a variety of terrains and climates, so fleeces and bikinis all need to find a corner in my suitcase. So what else will be making the cut into my case?
1. Big map – malkie will refuse to step into any RV without one
2. On The Road guide
3. Hipflask complete with Whiskey Society’s finest
4. On-road entertainment – Settlers of Catan
5. Some light reading on the quantum universe
Great! A travelogue! Such an amazing idea for a trip. I hope you guys have the best time, and as few punctures as possible. Malcs, now may not be the time to see if you can hit the tonne on your way down into the grand canyon! 😉 I will be following this Lucy, so thanks for taking the time. Stay safe (enough), and have a blast. Love, ax
