[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]People are giving the OP a hard time because she is doing nothing to help herself.[/b] She won't bring an extra suitcase to put toys and books in, only wants to travel with a small suitcase. She's too scared to drive anywhere - wtf? Get a GPS, learn a couple of simple routes.

Yes, this sounds like hell to me, so I get it. But you need to do something to help yourself. Plan on some home-based projects like baking, making homemade play dough, etc. Set up bowls and pans and buckets of water for your son outside, find some rocks, and let him throw the rocks in.

Take him out for a drive, for god's sake. Find an outdoor area where he can play. If it's in the mountains, there should be plenty. Walk across the street and take a walk in the woods, he'll have a blast.

What's the area, OP? I bet there's someone here who might be familiar with it and can give you some tips.[/quote]

Right?  Either don't go, or go and make the best of it.  Find some activities within driving distance--zoos, aquariums, children's museums, parks, trails, whatever.  When you get there, buy some basic craft supplies--construction paper, crayons, glue sticks, stickers, etc.  Buy some bubbles.  Make some cookies and play dough.  Even if there are no stores or whatever within walking distance, you can still go for a walk.  With a terrible attitude, it will be a terrible trip.  But it doesn't have to be.  [/quote]
