This is what the view in Puerto Rico is really like . . . when you’re stuck in a hotel with two overtired children.
- You don’t need to bring two pairs of long underwear on a ten-day trip to Puerto Rico.
- You also don’t need to bring 200 diapers.
- There is a difference between traveling and vacationing. Don’t confuse them; it’ll ruin everything. Going to a resort is not traveling; it is vacationing. Renting a local’s house that you have to clean up before you leave is not vacationing; it is traveling.
- The next time I plan a trip on which two or more children will be in tow, I will very carefully consider which of the two to choose, and what to expect of the trip as a result.

One of the things I learned after being a mom is that my vacation or traveling should be very close by. An d I mean no more than 4 hours in the car, specially if we are all going, including my sister and my two nephews. If not I will need a vacation to rest from the kids after our “vacation”. I always tell my sister, Ok I am going with all of you but not far….please.
Yes! 🙂 Great thought. The plane ride made us so exhausted the first day was just for recovery …
