Travel and Guests

               

                 Christmas is about Family, who is going to argue that? Unfortunately, we don’t live in a time we’re all terribly close to family. Ours lives a minimum of 4 hours from us, but Christmas, we try and get together.

                This post is about planning travel, and for guests. Starting with travel, this may seem like it might be a bit early, but you’re going to want to do this sooner rather than later. If you’re flying especially, get it booked, have yourself set to go. Also aim for as early as you possibly can so you’re not in the midst of a mad scramble, when everyone is trying to get home at the exact same time, and keep in mind, mother nature doesn’t always play nice either. Some times this isn’t an option, but if it is, you’ll be happy you did. If you’re driving, make sure you have the car set to go, with the winter tires, and have a check up. Then of course keep in mind options on the way if, again mother nature doesn’t help.


                Cale and I both work in Retail, as a result we tend to be the hosts, not the travelers. Getting ready for guests, obviously includes having accommodations all set. This year for us it will include some new linens, and probably some new towels. Seems early to be figuring out guests, but the sooner the better. I know we’ve got at least two guests this year already. Beyond that, think of things people might forget, tooth brush, soap, stuff like that, it's nice to have on hand in case. Beyond that, what are little things you can do for guests? My Father in-law loves Diet Coke, so we have that on hand. My Uncle has a sweet tooth, so we have stuff for him there. Just think of little things that can make it more pleasant when your family gets there. 

               K, Luv Ya, Bye!
