I once had a 14 hour flight from New York to Dubai, and it was SO DANG LONG. I think I would have died if I hadn't had books. And now that I have a Nook, with lots of books on one small device, I can't go on long trips without it!Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108016574533385427.post-30817734068843156642011-08-10T15:02:18.806-06:002011-08-10T15:02:18.806-06:00Mark - A notebook is a great idea.

I used to be able to read in a car but those days are loooong gone (sad, indeed). Other than that, give me some good snacks and good conversation and I'm good!<br /><br />Longest drive? Hmmm, without stops, from Atlanta to Dallas-Fort Worth Texas (would NOT recommend). With stops, from Atlanta to New Brunswick Canada (would recommend).<br /><br />~JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108016574533385427.post-36580523184292144852011-08-10T11:45:42.555-06:002011-08-10T11:45:42.555-06:00Road trip sounds fun, make sure to bring along a p...Road trip sounds fun, make sure to bring along a pad of paper for writing ideas:) Cool blog:)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793077012143289985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108016574533385427.post-33186699982149452412011-08-10T10:38:35.081-06:002011-08-10T10:38:35.081-06:00Chantele - Love the rationing water to cut down on...Chantele - Love the rationing water to cut down on bathroom breaks! <br /><br />Pam - Good conversation is one plus of long trips.

To help get me from Point A to Point B I rely heavily on good conversation. Talking to my husband is easy my boys are a bit tricky with their one word answers. Jokes, riddles and story help immensely. <br /><br />Sorry to hear you had so many funerals.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030757782954488154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108016574533385427.post-30201685137881944702011-08-10T09:23:43.986-06:002011-08-10T09:23:43.986-06:00We always have to have Reisen's.

Good selection of music is a must for us.<br /><br />One time we drove to FL and we forgot all of our kiddie music so our toddler was stuck listening to Bob Marley for a good chunk of the trip. She now claims he's one of her favorites.

I happen to be one of those who can read in the car, but only in the passenger seat. I can't read in the back.<br /><br />I need my iPod and a notepad/pen and phone! <br /><br />The longest ride, I can't even remember, but I've been on a plane for over 36 hours.Jessica R.

The last two times we've driven to my dad's house in Massachusetts (a 3-4 hour trip depending on traffic) audio books have saved our sanity. We popped in Harry Potter and not one child asked, "Are we there yet?" Of course, I suppose the donuts helped, too.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775691668721240162noreply@blogger.com
