Going on vacation can go one of two ways.
Either you ease yourself into your holiday preparation nice and gently, leave yourself no room for mistakes by using a travel checklist that Mary Poppins would be proud of

And you have sunburn on your shoulders.
Sound faintly familiar? Just a teeny bit?

It wasn’t even that there wasn’t a great deal of privacy; the flimsy piece of material that the Indian bus company tried to pass off as curtains could be pegged together at one end – helping to block out most of the light.
No.
The reason that that overnight bus journey was so torturous for my family and I was that we didn’t have our own pillows.

While every woman needs a purse for travel, ideally, we would prefer not to look (or feel) as though we are lugging around some ugly, cumbersome (achy shoulder) carry-all that is housing the entire contents of the top drawer in our kitchen.
That’s not the look we are after when going on vacation.
No, thank you. Certainly not.
