Travel
I went to Florida on the weekend of March 7-8 and the airplane ride was very boring. Here are a few things you can do to make your trip entertaining
Download books on your phone or iPad on either Libby or Kindle
If you are on Delta, there is a WiFi that you can use
Take a nap
Watch a movie (Aladdin, Cinderella might be good for kids and you can also do Girls Will Be Girls and Slow Horses for grownups)
Look at a map
I’m in Florida because my grandma lives there. When you go places, do you go there to visit friends and family, or just because it maybe has nice weather and there is a famous building there, like Mt. Rushmore or The Eiffel Tower?
The Big Debate!
Death Valley in California or Dome Fuji Ridge in Antarctica?
(Basically warm or cold but I wanted to make it more interesting, you know?)
