Carla, we did a church bus trip once in the middle of summer to Disney. It was my first Mickey trip. It was soooo hot and cramped. Tia, that trip up North sounds like an adventure!

Funny, too, since we weren't exactly regular church goers. It was always a fun time being in a bus full of Cubans. The trips were always filled with jokes and music. Fond memories...

I remember my first trip up north with your Mom, Tio Nene and Esperanza. No A/C, nothing to read and the windows open so that the air would cool us down. What a trip.. I think I was 14 years old. We went to Maryland and then to Washington D.C. In Baltimore is where Tio Nene saw the ghost at the Lichtenberg house. Is a long story...

If the alternative to letting my kids watch movies on long trips was an eight-hour family lovefest with sing-alongs, it would be worth leaving the portable DVD player at home. This is not the reality I live in, and so I am quite thrilled to let my niños watch tv on the trips, and then we happily turn off the DVD player when we arrive, ready to actually enjoy being together!
