Bring Cloth Grocery Shopping Bags On VacationTaking a vacation where you will be staying in a condo? Pack cloth totes with strong handles and shoulder straps, to put your groceries in; much easier to carry from the car to the condo, making less trips.

Healthy Snacks and Toys in the CarWhen our children were small, we tried to keep a stash of some healthy snacks and water in the van on long trips. We also kept some mesh bags with toys in them so they had something to do to keep them occupied while on the road.

Check for Internet ConnectionWhen planning a trip, check for internet connections. When your time is limited, that high speed access can make a huge difference.
Taking Pictures When Your TravelIf you're traveling with an untried camera, take advantage of a 1-hour film developing service and test a roll of photos. This precaution may spare you the disappointment of learning only after returning home that your camera was malfunctioning.

Clean Up While TravelingWhen traveling with children, I do this to avoid stopping all the time and save money on wipes. Before we leave, I get at least 2 wash cloths and soap them really well but don't rinse them. I put them in a ziplock baggie.
Get Books on Tape for Road TripsWhen I go on a trip in my car to visit my daughter and the grandchildren I get a book on tape from the library for free, to listen to as I travel. It is great company and the journey goes quicker.
