Ten on Tuesday

Thanks Chelsea for the Ten on Tuesday questions.
1. Favorite way to travel (plane, train, automobile, etc.)
Now that we have kids, it throws a whole new spin into everything. I love to travel, and it doesn't matter if I'm flying or driving, I'm a happy girl. It was much easier to fly before Mason turned 7 months. He would sleep on the plane and sit in my lap no problem. After 7 months, they are so curious and sitting still and being quiet is the last thing they want to do. Living in California and having family in Texas means we do most of our travel by plane. After a couple of experiences, I prefer not to travel alone with the kids, atleast until they are much older and can entertain themselves. It's too much for one person. Car trips are great if you don't mind crying babies. As a mom, I've learned to tune it out most of the time. This is harder for Adam.

2. Where's your favorite place to travel that you have been?
Lanikai, Hawaii. We had the luxury of spending our honeymoon in this gorgeous town and we recommend it to everyone looking for a peaceful tropical vacation.

3. Where's the place you want to go that you have never been?
Greece & London.

4. Do you deal with the traffic well?
I think so, as long as it doesn't make me late, otherwise I get anxious and mad.

5. Ever had an emergency while traveling?
Depends on what you consider an emergency. Taylor vomited all over herself and me 5 minutes before boarding a plane.

6. Do you have a passport? What countries have you been to?
No, but I need to get one ASAP. I've been to Akumal, Mexico.

7. Are you a light packer or do you pack everything but the kitchen sink?
I'm somewhere in between. Somehow when I pack the kids bags, stuff always ends up in my luggage.

8. Do you take the fastest route or the road less traveled?
Fastest, unless I'm just going for a drive in the country.

9. Do any activities on the road? (like road games, reading, sleeping, etc.)
Growing up, we always played the Alphabet game. I can never read in the car because it makes me sick. I used to fall asleep in the car the minute we started a road trip. I don't sleep in the car anymore because I think if you want to ride shotgun, it's just common courtesy to stay awake.

10. Use a paper map or GPS?
GPS.
