Travel Tips

Traveling can be fun or frustrating. It is important to be ready, whether you are going to your grandparent's house or around the world. Car, bus, train or plane - what do you need? I always like to take a comfortable pillow to sleep on. It needs to be small so you can pack it. Books, games or crossword puzzles help to pass the time. I also like taking some of my favorite music to help. Many of my travels to the mountains require a very long bus ride. That's when my pillow and music really help. I always take my Bible. That is something I read every day. I also pack a flashlight, in case there is no light. It helps me know where I am when I get to new places. I also take my passport whenever I go places. It is really fun to look at it and see all the places I have been. Having sunglasses and suncreen is helpful on the beach as well as when I go up high into the mountains.


I also make sure I have the right clothes. When I go to the mountains, I need good boots and a warm coat. In a few weeks, I will go to the beach and need sandals and shorts. I try to keep things that I need, like my passport and flashlight, in my backpack - in my case that's my shell. If you are ready for your travels, then you can enjoy the journey! Always be ready for new things. Maybe there is a new food you have never seen, or a different language to listen to. I always enjoy new smells, sounds, sights and tastes. I know that God made the all, so I am ready to experience them!


Sometimes making food is different as well. Below is a picture of my friend, Mike, grinding rice. They put the rice in the middle wheel and Mike turns the big wheel to make the rice. very cool!
