Road Trip Essentials List 🚗 ✔️ 𝙎𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙇𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 📲 Jona and I LOVVVE Road tripping all times of the year because it is SO nice to have our own car and to be able to travel easily with the dogs!! Living in Georgia, we love driving all over north Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and the Carolinas!! Here’s a few things I ALWAYS have with me 📝👇 🛑 Safety First!! Emergency roadside equipment! I choose to carry Fix-a-Flat because you don’t need jacks, tools, or spare tires!! With Fix-a-Flat, you can easy install and no waiting for roadside assistance!*
🥤Snacks! I love to get Sprite Zero, Smartwater, Sugar Free Red Bull, Spicy Pork Rinds and Slim Jim’s!
🩴 Get cozy! Bring your pillow, blankets, easy slip on shoes, a book, & eye mask!
📲 Electronics: chargers, batteries, phones, drone, cameras, etc! Don’t forget to download your episodes at home!
☀️ Sunglasses & Sunblock! I get burnt through my sunroof 🤣
⛑ First Aid & Medicine: I bring medicine for allergies, headaches, stomach aches, indigestion, and couch drops!
💵 Many places in the US can have toll ways and it never hurts to have $10-$30 cash in the car!!! It’s also a good idea to always have a Master or Visa! A lot of places don’t take my AMEX 🤦🏼‍♀️
🧽 Clean up: I don’t know how many times I spill something in the car or have all my trash piling up! Don’t forget napkins/towels, grocery story bags for trash, Kleenex, wet wipes, extra plastic utensils/straws!
🐶 Dogsssss!!! We always take leases, collars, glow in the dark collars, 💩 bags, food, car back seat cover, portable bowls, and EXTRA water! Got to keep the babies hydrated! *Road trip essentials brought to you by Fix-a-Flat! Fix-a-Flat gives you or a friend/loved one peace of mind and helps you or prepare for a summer road trip. Some new cars don't come with a spare tire, so you could carry Fix-a-Flat on you instead can safely and quickly get you back on the road!!! Many people are hitting the open road this summer. Don’t travel without your trusty can of Fix-a-Flat‼️ #ontheroadagain #fixaflat #fixaflatpartner @originalfixaflat What are your Road Trip essentials⁉️

Hidden gem 💎- only 4 hr flight from 🇺🇸 ꜱᴀᴠᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ʟᴀᴛᴇʀ 📲 Bonaire is one of the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao) in South America! 🌎 The ABC islands are the three western-most islands of the Leeward Antilles in the Caribbean Sea that lie north of Falcón State, Venezuela. 🏖 All three islands are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands 🇳🇱 , although they remain outside the European Union. 🤔 Bonaire is known mainly among the diver community for excellent scuba diving 🐠 , snorkeling 🤿 , and windsurfing ⛵️... BUT has so much to offer any tourist! Personally, it is the bluest and more see through water I've ever seen in person! 🌊 Our AirBnb @beachesbonaire (notsponsored) 🏨 picked us up from the airport ✈️ and brought us back to our villas with ocean-views 💦 directly across the road from this water right here! 👙 It was $96 (including airport transportation)! I highly recommend this option especially for a quick and easy beach getaway! 🗺 What's the bluest water you have ever seen? OR your favorite beach destination⁉️ 🕶👒👙🐠🍹🏝

COVID VACCINE: WHY, HOW, WHERE, REACTION 💉👇

COVID VACCINE: WHY, HOW, WHERE, REACTION 💉👇 #PSA SHARE WITH A FRIEND📲 WHY:
The more people get the vaccine, the more travel reactions with lax! When they do lax, having the vaccine will enable me to be privy to those benefits at some point! I see it like... I can be part of that solution of moving forward! If we all sit back and wait, we’ll that’s the thing... we’ll just be waiting longer and longer to travel ‘normally’ again. Also, I want to be able see my grandparents! I don’t want to waste any precious time with them! They are now vaccinated as well and I cannot wait to spend Easter with them! Protecting ourselves, our families and loved ones has become more of a priority during the pandemic and this is just the next step in the right direction! HOW:
In the US, the vaccine is administered by State. Currently, Georgia eligibility is open for everyone 12 years of age and older for the COVID-19 vaccine. I got my vaccine on March 22nd when all adults over 55 or with other medical conditions (I qualified under having a BMI over 25% along with 70% of Georgians)! Check out GetVaccineAnswers.org for all Q&A, facts, and resources! WHERE:
Delta Air Lines has a flight museum turned Vaccination Center! Delta partnered with the State of Georgia to become the State’s largest vaccination center. REACTION:
I got my vaccine around 2pm in the afternoon!! I felt completely fine to bedtime! I even did Orangetheory (row, run, weightlift) soon after that at 4:30pm! Through the night, I was completely restless, feeling hot/cold at the same time and running a fever! I had a headache all the next day but took pain reliever to help that subside! I skipped Orangetheory that next day and decided to call it an early night at 9pm for bed since I hadn’t slept well or felt well all day! That next day, so two days after my vaccine, I was feeling back to myself and SUPER happy about my decision! Getting the vaccine is definitely a personal choice but I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it would help you make a decision. To make an informed decision, go to GetVaccineAnswers.org! 🤗 Disclosure: In Partnership with the Ad Council

Guide to Mount Rainier National Park 🥾👇 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 📲 For our annual mother-daughter trip, my mom and I headed for a quick weekend trip from Atlanta to Washington! We picked Washington and Mt. Rainier because the park is SOOO close to the airport when compared to other parks!! We stayed in Eatonville for Friday night and had our 24 itinerary set for Saturday to see AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE 🤣! At the end of the day close to 11pm, we drove north to stay my aunt that lives north of Seattle! From Eatonville, here’s what we did all in one day: 🥐 Grab Breakfast & togo Lunch/Dinner - we did Cottage Bakery in Eatonville
💦 Fill up water bottles/Water at gas station
⛽️ Fill up to FULL tank before entering the park
🚗 Enter through Nisqually & Buy America the Beautiful annual park pass $80
🧊 Christine Falls - short walk or see from road
📸 Ricksecker Point scenic lookout is beautiful!!
🚶‍♀️ Narada Falls .1 mile - shows a rainbow in waterfall 🌈
🌸 Nisqually Vista Trail .9 - ideal for wildflowers in summer! Or the Rangers said Dead Horse 🐴 Creek Trail!!
💧 Paradise Visitor center - restroom / water
⛰ Reflection Lakes - enjoy view & have some lunch 🥙 ⠀

🌅 Mt. Fremont Fire Lookout/Sunrise Center - 6 miles (take head lamp, hiking poles, snacks) OR swap for Tolmie or Skyline Divide trails!
🌟 Stargaze at Sunrise Center (if you have a low f stop camera, get your camera ready 😝)
🍟 We drove north out of the park and found the only thing open! McDonalds!! LOL! Those fries were so worth it after a long hike! Be sure to take enough snacks, water, food, gas, etc. so you are set for your full day at the park! Would you visit Mt. Rainier⁉️ Do you think we packed enough into one day❓
