Tinkerbelle, we drive all the time & I don't know if I love it because I'm not flying or because its not a bad ride at all. We come from central jersey and we leave around 5-6am. Its still dark out so the kids sleep in the back. We put the tv/vcr in & load up with tapes. I bring along a bag of snacks/drinks & sandwiches. After a while when everyones up we stop, freshen up and have breakfast. THen we're off again, until someone has to make a reststop. We have lunch (gee, sounds like we eat alot) & then drive to Ga. Gateway, where we stay for the night. THen it around 5-6 hr. more driving the next morn. Oh, god I wish we were driving this time again.

LOL dg39! You would rather drive and I would rather fly! I just bought the tv/vcr and up to my minnie ears in lists for activiites for the kids to make the ride more comfortable for everyone. We are also from Central New Jersey, Burlington County. YOU? We are leaving at 3:30 am and staying in Santee, SC for the night. We are going in October, YOU?

Hoping everyone has a "magical day"!

I'm terrified of flying. Here are three suggestions that help make the trip better for me. 1. My Dad told me this and it helps a lot! Just remember that the pilots want to get home too! 2. Take tapes or CDs of a discussion or book. Something that you have to think about instead of just background noise. Turn it up loud enough and you'll miss some of those sounds and if you get really interested, your flight will go much quicker. 3. If you start to get nervous and make yourself sick, ask the flight attendant for a damp washcloth. I got sick once and they brought one and said it would help. Boy did it ever help! Now I do this everytime I'm sick--even on the ground!
