Helllooooo there! Wow I’m surprised I’m actually making it to this little blogger dashboard of mine and writing a post today! This is my last week of vacation and I’m already depressed thinking about my return home. There’s something about responsibilities, a normal routine, and schedule that just doesn’t feel right. Can I just play on the river and in the pool all day while living off of beer and crab legs? I’m thinking I should reconsider this whole getting a Master’s degree and “big girl” job thing. Just sayin…
But since it’s still summer time and many of you are busy traveling, like myself, I have put together some road trip essentials! When Chris and I made our 1,400 mile move across the country last summer, these things were necessary. Especially number 2 and 3 below. But who am I kidding, Starbucks and iPhones are always necessary.
One. Sunnies. A definite must for any daytime drive. Or because you just rolled out of bed and look like Lindsay Lohan the morning after the club.
Two. Starbucks. So you don’t fall asleep and stuff like that. And it tastes good too. Win win!
Three. Phone car charger. God forbid you get disconnected from the world. I can’t handle that one.
Four. GPS. Because you probably don’t know where you’re going if it’s a long trip!
Five. iTunes and a fun playlist. This was a life saver for my drive. Add as many songs as you can!
Young and Fabulous says
ahhh yes all awesome essentials!!!
i have no idea what I would do without good music for a long drive. I would probably start singing and that would be just awful LOL

Hey, I just found your blog via the GFC link up! I'd love if you'd give mine a look, too.

Starbuck is key when you are driving. You are totally correct! & for someone that always gets lost, GPS isn't a bad thing to have either! I wish I took a road trip that far, its so great to get out.

I started taking masters too 2 years ago and I realized that I'm still too young and too burned up from my undergrad course. I wished I started it way later in life when I'm more matured.
I use to like listening to music, but recently I switched to audiobooks.
I came to your blog via GFC Lovin' blog hop. followed you via GFC, bloglovin and twitter.
care to follow back?

Nothing more important that Starbcucks & good music on a long drive. Sadly there isn't Starbucks in my country 🙁

I agree with all of these, especially Starbucks!
Ashley Brooke says
I completely agree on all of these things- especially Starbucks. When I drove from LA to Florida a few months ago, my husband and I stopped at Starbucks way to often haha New follower!
bonbon says
Hope you had a great vacation! And I agree- there is nothing more depressing than thinking about when you have to come home from vacation. Sucks bigtime! I try to plan my next vacation ahead of time so when one vacation is ending I already have another vacation to look forward to. yes I am ridiculous.
alex says
YES to everything! I would just need to add my phone and sketchbook and I'd be good to go(: lovely blog!

I got stuck in a rental for 2 road trips this week. What I borrowed from the boyfriend? A GPS, a car charger, and an auxillary cable for my iPod. He didn't have any sunnies I wanted to wear haha. So you're dead on!!
