Perfect timing girlie. We are leaving for Seaside on Thursday and I’m cramming in our SUV with sunscreen and booze, a loud Toddler, the hubby, and my folks to save on gas. I know you’re jealous. Good tips.

eeewww changing baby on the tray table, really? YUCK! I’ve never seen that, but uumm now I know.

Something to add about washing hands on planes, trains and RVs – they NEVER flush/chemically treat the water systems on planes so don’t drink water from the faucets. Over time bacteria grows in the system and your body’s system may not take well to it. I’m thinking if you’ve got a thumb sucker – use sanitizer instead of washing their hands on the plane.
