Welcome to Day 25 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge for July

Day 25 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge for July! Just a couple more days and I can honestly say I made it through the Ultimate Blog Challenge and I only missed one day to post but quickly made it up thanks to a friend who is also doing the Ultimate Blog Challenge. As I sit here this morning I have been thinking about Thursday which is David day off. Trying to decide what we can do with Charlie as Summer will be ending soon and there is still so much I want to do.

 I decided to put it in Gods hands and continue working this morning by going through emails when I came upon the prompts for this mornings post. Even though I knew I needed to post this morning I wasn’t ready. After reading today’s prompts, I couldn’t wrap my head around the Ultimate Blog Challenge. I cheated and went and crawled onto the couch with my blanket and pillow as it was very early.

Here I sit again trying to write the post for the Ultimate Blog Challenge and no, I am still not ready, but by placing things in Gods hands I know he will help me decide what I would like to say. So this mornings prompt is to:

Write about a time you took a trip. What was the journey of business? Pleasure? What are your ‘necessities’ when you travel? Do you have to have something with you when you visit (for me, I always bring a Bluetooth speaker, I can play music in my hotel room!)

My family hasn’t traveled in years until this Summer, and we have taken a couple day trips and an overnight trip to my dads. The things I had to make sure I took were my pillow as I can’t sleep without it. A extra blanket as I get cold and no, one else does and I have a special one I like to take on trips. My tablet to play games on and my phone to take pictures with. Then a book or two as I read while David drives and if I don’t have a book I take a stack of magazines.

I take snacks and lots and lots and lots of water.  Charlie says I don’t want to run out and have to purchase some in a gas station as they can be outrageous. I also make sure everyone who is going with me even on a day trip bring a change of clothes as you just do not know what might or might not happen. Then a notebook and pen for anything I find I want to share on the blog when I return home.

Now my question for you is what is your must you have on a trip and why?

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
