Deb's Top Ten Travel Tips

10. Make sure you know how to release the parking brake so you don't have to call your ex-husband at 5 a.m.
9. What no cruise control on this UHaul?
8. Amuse yourself by counting the number of double looks from SUV drivers when they realize just who it is driving that thing!
7. Recalculating is just the GPS way of saying "why did you bring me if you aren't going to listen to me?"................almost like having a back seat driver with you.
6. Don't get to excited when you cross the Mississippi River in Illinois, you are still a heck of a long way from Texas!
5. Uphold your promise to your oldest daughter to not text while driving....even though that is a long time to go without texting!!
4. When your right buttock starts hurting, it may NOT be a sign you have been driving too long....maybe you are simply sitting on Elphie's leash handle.
3. Don't stare at that skinny guy filling up his truck......men in Arkansas consider stirrups part of the dress code.
2. Check carefully before getting into a Uhaul at a rest area.....it may not be yours!!! (though the guy sleeping might have been nice...who knows!)

And the number one travel trip from Deb.....yes, you can drive to Houston in one day....but WHY WOULD YOU?????

  2. She is super mom and my Super Sis!! Who else wants to try to drive 19+ hours in Uhaul truck, move someone in 3rd floor apt., and still be smiling if you hand her a Tab can!! Contest: How many tabs did she consume in 24 hours on June 5?? I think 20. Other guesses welcome!
