2. A camera. Just a regular "point and shoot" 10 or 12 megapixel.

3. A laptop. Even to Yellowstone where there is no internet. I used it to download pictures from my camera at the end of the day. Even on an Alaska cruise where there is only expensive internet. Because the husband had a work assignment to finish and send off at an internet cafe in Ketchican (or similar). Or because even though you're on mandatory year end break, you have defects in your queue that need to get fixed.


4. A hat. A knit one for winter/cold trips (Alaska in June is like winter in Orlando) or a shady one for warm/sunny trips.
5. Something to knit. Usually something "easy" - where I can knit it and either navigate/be the designated texter/negotiate backseat disagreements.
6. Something to read. Either magazines or a book.
7. Games to play while waiting. Sometimes we play an analog version of "draw something" where one person sketches some random thing (on paper) and the other person guesses it. But it's nice to have a deck of cards in case you find yourself in an airport terminal for a while.
8. My family. They are what make it interesting.
9. Tylenol for me. It is purely a coincidence that this is listed right under "my family." I swear.
10. Good walking shoes.
