Since order and schedules are his BFFs, nothing throws a wrench in the system like travelling because plans can quickly change. Here's how we go away and still stay calm and worry-free:
- We plan ahead as much as possible. That means plane tickets, directions, packing (which I handle for me and the kids), and reservations. We check the weather, flight status, and try to get details about everything before leaving.
- If we're taking the car, he prefers to drive because he says he feels more in control. Plus he can listen to his favourite music, and as a bluegrass musician, that always puts him in a happy mood.
- We usually take my car since it's the biggest, and I make sure the front seat is clear of garbage and any extra stuff. When it's clutter-free and clean, he says he feels calmer.
- I bring the snacks! Snacks always make things better, especially if we can't get to food.
