Lots of people wonder what people who live in a vacation destination do when it is time for their vacation. For us, it means visiting other vacation destinations. It's our chance to remember what it's like to see amazing things for the first time. This year that meant a trip to California. (A state none of us had visited.) After traveling by horse-drawn taxi, a ferry boat, and by car, we boarded a plane in Traverse City.
Except for a few crying children, a four year-old seat kicker, and a short delay, we landed in Fresno without incident. (Luckily, I'm one of those people who can often tune those noises out; the rest of my family, not so much. But the flights were short...) Thankfully, the car rental's computer system decided to start working again five minutes after we arrived at their counter and we were on our way. (We were a little worried because it was 10:30 pm and we thought we might have to come back when they opened in the morning - at 7:00 because, "We can only hold your reservation for 24 hours." Thankfully it all worked out.) My husband is not a fan of traveling by air, so I was thrilled that we had no major hiccups.
