I am going on a trip and I am going to pack...

mikibell posted a pic said Fri, Aug 4th 2017 at 9:41am ET

I am bored and we haven’t had a good getaway thread in a while…

So remember that game you played in the car “I am going on a trip and I am going to pack”? (we always did a picnic, but whatever…)…

To start off, I am going on a trip and I am going to pack aromatherapy candles…

Come join me…

Chocolate chip cookies. Some have cacao nibs, some have walnuts, some have filberts, some have pecans, some were made with coffee, and none have coconut.

- @mflassy At an early age my parent’s realized that I wasn’t like other kids. While they were all out in the neighborhood playing on nice days, I would sit in the empty bathtub at home and make plans for the impeding post apocalyptic world. There was no way I was going to be at the mercy of losing all the disgusting modern first world comforts the other kids took for granted.
  
  Eventually I would get out into the nature so I could learn to hunt, trap, forage and build shelter. Oh yeah, when the doo doo hits the turbine, I’ll be munching on cockroaches and laughing at the fate of the ill prepared.

I’ve never played the game, but I’d rather have a deck of cards than dynamite.

And I’d like to take a Frisbee.

- @sligett “I am going on a trip and I am going to pack …” is a fun memory game where each person adds to the previous person/s response/s.
  
  The first person says, "I’m taking a trip and I am going to pack … " and then fills in the rest of the sentence. Starting with A… all the way to Z…
  
  It could be a piece of clothing or a toy or a person or whatever they choose.
  
  Each person then repeats what the last person said, and adds their own selection to the end and so on.
