We just returned home from flying to Utah to pick up Sami and her stuff for the summer.....stuff. Wow. Here are a few travel tips I gathered that I thought I would share:
1. Smarte Cartes at the airport (to put all of your luggage on) are not only for the aged and business traveler. Won't ever traipse across a crowded airport without one of these again.
2. When you receive a prompting, please pay attention. 2 coins for the above mentioned Smarte Cartes had been sitting in my car for years - some other traveler must have left them there. I kept thinking "I should take those with us". Didn't. So instead paid full fee for the carts..which was worth it, but still.
3. Spend the extra money on a decent room. It's worth it to be in a clean place where the staff bend over backwards to help you. Doesn't have to be the Ritz, either.
4. Be thankful when your college returning child has 5 bags and not 10. Saw several with the larger amount. Made me want to cry for the parents. They needed 2 or 3 Smarte Cartes.
5. Take a little time out to visit. We had the best time with our friends, the Hansens, who so graciously let us come and spend the day with them before we came home. We love you!
Glad to be home and glad to have Sami home for the summer. Now does anyone have a job for her???

Sami can com nanny at my house (although I know that is not her first choice!). We loved having you come visit. It was fun to catch up. Enjoy having Sami home for the summer. The time will pass to quickly and soon enough you will be hauling all those bags back to Provo!
welcome back! I hope we can get together soon.
love,
Michelle
She can clean my shower for me once a month...well as long as she doesn't tell anyone how gross it is. LOL
She's been home two Sundays and saved us in RS two times already! Hooray! I remember well the trips our Aerostar made back and forth to Rexburg, whew!
She can say she knows Mike if she wants to apply at KFC. I think they usually hire a few more for the summer time
