This week I am going on a road trip with my daughter from Georgia to New York State. I am flying down and accompanying her on the drive back. She’s coming home after a temporary zookeeper assignment to live with us for a while before determining what’s next. We decided to continue our zoo quest on the trip.
Planning a trip without being together can be tricky. We created a Google doc with trip details, made a Google My Maps, and I have a Numbers doc on my Iphone/Ipad with itinerary, packing list and reservation info.
Looks like it is going to be very hot, not sure about rain. Packing for a one-way flight with a road trip itinerary is certainly a new experience. There are some must-haves, like my water bottle thermos, Kindle, Dramamine, and good walking sandals. I am considering each day, which will be hours of driving broken up with visits to zoos and aquariums. I will aim for comfort, not fashion.
Destinations:
- Duke Lemur Center: Durham, NC
- Virginia Aquarium and Marine Center: Virginia Beach, VA
- Smithsonian National Zoo: Washington D.C.
- Philadelphia Zoo: Philadelphia, PA
Very ambitious! Looks like it all worked out. Hope the A/C got fixed.
