Eastbound: Road Trip Essentials.

In August, I'll be rolling out and headed for the East Coast. The Canadian East Coast is home to the finest hospitality a person could ever encounter. I've been out that way in the past, as a mere 10th grader touring and doing Acrosport performances with my high school team ( good times). We'd made it all the way out to Prince Edward Island, home of the great P.E.I Potatoe. That dirt is also really red.

Not much has changed since that last trip and the one I'll be embarking on in August. One thing thats changed, I definitely can't eat McDonalds three squares a day for an entire trip. I'm still not completely sure how I lived on such a diet every tour. We'll pack a handful of EasyLunchBoxes with snacks, sandwiches and any controbaned Candy my Dad and I sneak in. We have the Classic and Urban Sets. They've survived my abuse for an entire college year, and my Dad's day to day work life. They'll do fine on the road.

One thing that'll never change, when I travel I need my own pillow and a sleeping bag. If I had my way, we'd bring tents and go camping when stopped for the nights. However, my sister doesn't camp. I'm sure her idea of camping is a Howard Johnson with nature wallpaper and Wifi. However I don't really like hotel bedding, it's not a gemaphobe hang-up. I just like my own blanket to remind me of being home. In a perfect world, I'd be rocking an American League MLB sleeping bag from Pottery Barn Teen with the equally awesome pillow case.

(  These could look awesome in Pool outside with a White and light blue striped inside and Purple outside and light grey and white striped inside. I know a lot of young women and girls who love baseball and would love to have something like this)

Road trips are the best time to get caught up on a good book, or re-read an old book you haven't in awhile. I'm going to stop at the library just before I go and pick up a few Brian Jacques Redwall novels. They've been a long-time favourtie of mine.
Naturally a college/ high schooler is going to automatically pack their iPhones, Laptops, iPods, Nintendo DS and things like that. I'll have my computer with me for sure and my phone.....I don't want my parents to get lost and not be able to find me and by them I mean me. I also like to find away to cram my baseball glove, a few baseballs, A frisbee and my skateboard into the mix.

What stuff do you bring on your roadtrips?
