A
Restful Retreat
The
Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller,
long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To
where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as
just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because
it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing
there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that
morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh,
I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads
on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall
be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages
hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the
one less traveled by,
And that has made all the
difference
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

TIPS:
--
Take pictures of the car empty and the car fully packed. Pile
everything in one place and put the “This is traveling light?”
caption under it. I have a few pictures of my husbands and my
medium suitcase and the kids 3 suitcases- plus 3 carry-ons or
things to do bags. (Car trips add 3 pillows and 3 blankets.) Of
course I have to carry all food or it would be eaten in the car
on our way to the airport.
-- If
you make lists – and lists on lists as I do – scrap them
into your pages. Years from now when you are traveling without
children you will be amazed at how much stuff you had to pack
and how much EASIER it is to travel now.
-- I
have left DETAILED instructions for babysitters and later for my
children when I was away for more than a day. I don't think
these vital lists were even looked at let alone followed. I
would find them in pristine condition attached to the
refrigerator right where I left them. I scraped them into pages
with pictures I took of my house when I got back. My journaling
was focused on whether it was worth going away to return to face
the after math.
