On the road again
Hey guys! We’re just about to get on the road but I just wanted to say hi 😀
Our room was a packing frenzy yesterday..
It went from this:
To this:
Much better 😀
I made some hummus to take with us:
And veggies:
This is sneaky blogging because the pilot went to drop Viesa off at the kennel and I’m supposed to be bringing suitcases downstairs to load into the car when he gets back. They’re HEAVY though!!!
Some random things that are coming with us:
- The Vita-mix (I can’t go for a month without it!)
- Fire escape ladder (I’m paranoid and if there’s a fire, I’m getting OUT! haha)
- Full set of bedding… sleeping on hotel bedding for a month gives me the heeby jeebies
- Food.. almond butter, spices, protein powder, Vegalicious, Heed
What could you not live without for a month?!?
Aight, I hear the car outside.. I’m going to go look productive before I’m busted 😉
We’re stopping in Hotlanta and Little Rock today- see ya later, bloggies!
Have a wonderful day <3
xoxo,
G

Good thinking on bringing your own sheets–that’d give me the heeby jeebies as well!
Have a great trip! I can’t go with out Vega either.
Nice one sista! LOVE the random items. I live out of a suitcase for my day job, and I still haven’t got it right! You totally put me to shame….although I DO love my Tribest Travel Blender. Kristen from Kristen’s Raw got me onto it and I never leave home without it. But the Vitamix for a month would be a necessity!
I love that you’re going to have a VitaMix in a hotel. though I’m sure you’ll be using one a lot at school too!
I hope you have a great trip to good ol’ Oklahoma 😉 It’s not as bad as it sounds I promise.. haha I grew up there.
How exciting! Good luck and safe travels. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it!
Have a safe trip!
I know I can’t live without a nut butter or fresh fruit.
ROAD TRIP! Love it! I’m so jealous you are going to this school. It is my dream! Can’t wait to live vicariously through you!
fire escape ladder????? glad i’m not the only crazy one (but really, it is good to be safe).
reminds me of a funny one….
a few days ago PB was coming home from work and I knew he was right downstairs so I unlocked the door to our condo (he forgot our keys) and went to put on the tv to paint my nails before dinner. Normally he yells something out when comes in but I guess he wanted to surprise me. I heard a teeny sound and grabbed the remote to use as a weapon and got into a hardcore karate stance. As soon as he turned the corner I screamed and went after him. Luckily I noticed it was my HUSBAND BEFORE I whacked him with the remote hahahahahahaha
haha love the covert blogging!!
hope you have a safe trip and can’t wait to hear all about your raw culinary adventure! 🙂
Can’t live without: oats, Jillian Michaels shred DVD, chocolate!
Have a fabulous trip!!! Drive safe!
p.s. that was obviously a little entertainment for you for your road trip 😉
but it really happened. will never live it down!
SO exciting! I love your essentials list. I definitely agree with you on the bedding, ack!
Have fun on your first day of the trip! 🙂
have a safe trip!!!
Best of luck on your road trip! Sounds like it’s going to be F-U-N!
Oats, almond butter and some books would def be going along with me!
Bags packed, ready to go and the almond butter is going along on the journey.
I am with you on the bedding, I can not go anywhere without my own pillow, I guess it is a security thing for me. When I road trip, I have to bring lots of water and snacks, mostly veggies.
Safe travels!!!
Have a GREAT time!
I couldn’t live without my Teavana Tea!
Or my dogs. I couldn’t go a month without them!
good luck gina!!!
Have fun love! 🙂 be safe!
You are so smart to take the fire escape ladder. A firefighter friend told me he ALWAYS requests a room on the third floor or lower, just in case. Otherwise, he said you can not guarantee a safe exit, even with help.
I’ve lived in a hotel room for 10 weeks before. I could not live without a refrigerator, which I rented.
I don’t care about the bedding – never really hurt me in the past. I just don’t think about how nasty the top comforter must be!
Looking forward to your upcoming posts!
Thats a lot of great goodies to take with! I agree with the bedding thing, I hate thinking about hotel bedding and the people who have been there!
I couldn’t live without my Brita water container, blender and George forman grill!
have a safe and wonderful time Gina! i can’t wait to hear all about it =)
(love my nutbutters,oatmeal, and veggies)
Honestly, I am a little jealous you get to bring those things! I am leaving for a month long trip as well (hint: somewhere that the men have SEXY accents) and I cannot lug my Vitamix onto the plane. I thought about taking hummus for the plane ride but I doubt they will let me have it since it is a paste and may be considered “liquid”. Anyway, here is what I can’t live w/o and hope to find some of these things when I am off down under: Vitamix, almond butter, pro powder, avocados, yoga mat, and running shoes.
Safe travels Gina!
I couldn’t live without my workout gear, almond butter and comfy sweats. Have a safe trip!
Have a great time! I couldn’t live without lip balm. I am so beyond addicted, it’s ridiculous. Specifically, Kiehl’s and Rosebud’s Lip Salve. Love ’em!
I think I told you that I use to be in the Navy. Our lockers on our ship were divided into 5 spaces. I devoted an entire space to food! That’s right- 1/5th of my personal storage was FOOD! I use to bring a bunch of crackers, cereal, dried fruits and baked chips with me. Then every month my parents would mail me replenishment boxes! It was hard being a deployed foodie! You are going to be gone a MONTH. Bring as much as you can and when you arrive at the hotel Google the closest foodie stores!!!
Have a safe trip!!

What could I not live without for a month? My yoga mat, chapstick, VitaMix, and brown rice protein powder. And of course like a toothbrush and comb and soap 🙂
I read your other post about your packing…girl, I am on the road right now too and just packed….alot. Packing and traveling and just getting there is like more than half the battle, isn’t it!
Enjoy, bon voyage, have fun!!!!!!
Have a great trip!!!
I couldn’t live without my morning PB or AB… my blowdryer and my three year old 🙂
i could not go a month without my computer or cell phone!
I’m with you lady, no way I could go a month without almond butter, which is precisely why I’m bringing some with me to AUSTRALIA! My room is a disaster packing right now, your messy room looks CLEAN compared to mine. Love the snacks you packed 🙂
ahhhhhh…glad the packing ended up well and organized!
i can’t wait to hear about your adventuresssss!
Safe travels! I’m so excited for you 🙂
Enjoy your trip!!!!
My boyfriend thinks I’m crazy because I am buying a fire escape ladder for our 3rd floor condo! I can’t wait to show him this post! Better to be safe than sorry right!?! ha.
The fire escape ladder is hilarious. Until you need it. I desperately want a rope ladder for my bedroom balcony. But that’s more for the fun value than safety. Haha.
Also, in terms of my own ‘cant-travel-withouts’, I have a huge ooold flannel checked shirt of my dad’s that is my everything garment – seriously. It works as a jacket, dress, shirt, scarf, pillowcase, light blanket… comfort. Magic.
Yea! So exciting! Hope the drive goes well for you!
Have a great road trip! All be on the road back to school tomorrow and I definitely packed pretty much everything I own except shirts I don’t wear anymore!
Haha, I love the fire escape ladder idea!
That’s so funny you are bringing a fire ladder, that’s something I would consider too but would probably opt against because my hubby would laugh at me haha.
Hope you are having a safe trip!!
your room totes look like one those before and after images on clean house – you did WORK!
my hair straightener!!!!!!!, when there were fires near me in cali, i packed up what my animals needed……and my hair straightener, we didnt have to leave but i remember looking later on in my “emergency evac bag”…and there wasnt anything in there except for bird seed, iguana food and that most precious of all hair tool. lol how vain.and i am so with you on road trips, eating in new places, SHOPPING in new places, random stops along the way. when you went across America all those times, did you do diferent routes? i only did that once, and had the best time ever! but i dont know if i would want to do the same route four times….YES I WOULD!! lol i had a blast.
lol vitamix! have a safe trip lover! you are so beaaaaaaautiful! the pizza looks bizzomb too
