We Never Agree About Traveling

He drives me CRAZY! As much as I love him, sometimes when we travel or get ready to travel, I would rather kill him than travel with him. Here are the things about traveling with him that drive me crazy:

  • He packs way too much- when we went to Mexico, his bag weighed 10 pounds more than mine!
  • He won't use luggage like the rest of us humans, he wants to use ugly blue duffel bags that he has had since college!
  • He packs stuff in Wal-Mart bags (how embarrassing!)
  • He refuses to pack shoes- he either stuffs them in around the luggage or puts them in plastic bags!
  • He gets so excited that the week before vacation it is like having 3 kids.
  • He prints directions from every possible mapping site, even when he knows how to get there, and he prints them 6 days before we leave- like we're going to keep up with that!

This year he wants to drag a trailer to the beach. He keeps saying it will be a great way to get all of our stuff there, I keep saying you could just not pack so much stuff! I could make a list of reasons we shouldn't drag the trailer but the list would be too long and redundant considering the list above. So I will pray, for patience mostly as we get ready to leave!

Tell Clark Grizwald that he does not need that much stuff at the beach. All he needs are some flip flops, beer and a speedo.

Is it that same duffle bag he used to carry his street hockey equipment in?

So - you're saying it's wrong to take it all? That's just one more thing you can thank me for teaching him! Sure as the world, he'll leave something home that he desperately needs . . . hmmmmm - maybe a BIG trailer!
