10 Rules of Constant Travel:

  1. You can never have too many pillows.
  2. Put the loudest kids in the back-back-back seat.  They’ll distract each other.
  3. While the loudest kids are distracting each other (loudly), take a moment to enjoy your earbuds.
  4. Forget that old “keep your feet off the seats” rule.
  5. Never underestimate the power of sleep.
  6. Be flexible.  Mold yourself to the shape of the seat, and deal with the subsequent falling asleep of arms and legs.
  7. Don’t let your mom pick the CD unless you want to listen to sermon tapes.
  8. On that note, bring plenty of good music.
  9. Avoid sitting in the middle front bench seat.  You will be doomed to pass food and other items back and forth for the rest of the trip.
  10. Start the day in a good mood.  That way you’ve got a better chance of retaining it.
