Oh, I love lists! (What on earth is a dual screen dvd player?)

Have a great trip!

ah---our minivan was bought prior to pre-installed dvd players---another whole rant; so we bought a portable model that runs on direct current and has *two screens* so two kids can watch (with headphones only in MY car; I'm listening to music...). Plus we have the laptop with which still another passenger can watch movies.

If I hear ONE MORE WORD out of you kids, I'm turning this car around.....

Have fun nestled in the heart of your family. That's the good part. The tongues of your family is what you have to watch out for, they're barbed you know. I'm sure everyone will have the most wonderful time. Nothing like being with family in my book. Have a safe trip.
