Today, I started my to-bring list for my upcoming trip to Massachusetts.  My trips used to be more haphazard; if I forgot, I forgot.  But now, I need my meds, my creature comforts, my electronics, and, of course, a sleep mask, ear plugs, and a small, stuffed bear for company.

I usually have a sub-list for the car snacks.  Very important.

And, last but most important, is the GPS, conveniently located in the phone.  Yes, I can get to Massachusetts without making a wrong turn into Canada.
