It's A Good Time Friday! - 06.02.23
Hitting the road with my favorite flip-flops
It’s a road trip-slash-vacation-escape-themed links roundup this week, since I am on the road living my best hippie life as you read this.
(Actually, I’m currently the plus-one at my husband’s college reunion, but he bribed me into attending with a few days of camping afterward. That’s love, baby!)
I recently shared my 3 small travel essentials I never leave home without, but oh, I have so many more recommendations for making every trip easier and more fun.
I share a few more of my road trip packing necessities in a guest post for the Sleepover!!! series on
, the most excellent lifestyle blog-slash-newsletter from the multitalented Lynn Chen.
(And yes, Lynn, I really miss the days of old-school blogging too, when it wasn’t all about SEO and social media. Maybe I’ll bring some more of that back here.)Bryce Canyon is one of my all-time favorite National Parks, so of course I was riveted by this interactive feature on the park rangers and everything they do to prepare for the busy season. If nothing else, please watch the short slo-mo video of a prairie dog in action.
I will always and forever be obsessed with From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenweiler, and if you ever can’t find me, it’s because I ran away to the Met and befriended a cantakerous art heiress.
Do you want to be helped, heard, or hugged? Not exactly travel-related, but I absolutely love this strategy for supporting people when they’re upset. It’s the question I’ll be asking from now on when I want to be there for my friends.
Planning your own road trip adventure (or just a long weekend away from home)?
Grab my Travel Itinerary Dashboard and Travel Packing Dashboard Notion templates. They’ll make planning the trip almost as fun as taking the trip itself.
Or get the bundle of both templates and save a few bucks to buy ice cream on your vacation.
Don't know what Notion is?
I can help with that too!
