Last time we talked about some of the things that can go wrong when we travel and how to get through them so that the whole trip doesn’t go up in flames. Those were all things that impacted just a piece of the trip. Whether it was not getting on the road at the right time, facing a room snafu, or having to miss out on your traditional picture of the family riding the Tower of Terror because of a FastPass incident, they’re over soon and you can get past them.

If you’re me, you start preparing your in-car luggage. Just because I don’t fly doesn’t mean that I don’t do checked and carry-on luggage.
