Departing for Seattle 2011

"Then I proclaimed a fast there... that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods." Ezra 8:21

We are leaving for Seattle for 5 days to attend a wedding, be with family, and just get away!

Here are 3 traveling tips that we used (or should have used) when preparing for a trip:

1) Partner up: If you travel with someone else, get on the same team! Communicate about expectations. A trip can be a bonding or abrasive time, depending on the your partner-pal.

2) Pray: Ezra fasted and prayed for a safe journey for his family and luggage! Maybe his had a bad experience with missing baggage...

3) Plan Ahead: Check online, print out tickets, clean the house, bring snacks, empty the fridge, fight, and pack well before your departure! You don't want any loose-ends as you walk out the door ;)
