5. Bring Detergent & Quarters
Last year our family took a rode trip and hit some unexpected traffic. Due to the constant stop and go, our daughter got car sick and ended up throwing up everywhere- all over her clothes, the iPad and her new car seat. When we got to the hotel, I had one thing on my mind- wash the car seat cover ASAP (we just tossed her clothes- so not worth it!). My husband had to drive back out to the store and we scrounged for quarters. I learned my lesson- always bring detergent and quarters with you. You may think that hotel washers are disgusting, but you never know when you may HAVE to use one.
