Tips For Your Road Trip
In the 2020 Issue, Queen B Travel gave us some great tips for road trips. We know many people are about to hit the road for the summer.
Before I Go
by Brenda Derrick
I prepare for a road trip about a week before. Packing clothes, getting snacks, checking distance and mapping stops along the way.
If driving my car, get it serviced a few days before leaving.
After we arrive and check in at the hotel, we go to Walmart to get some things.
Buying things when you get to a location makes packing easier and the car not so crowded. We got boogie boards, snacks and went to the beach.
Just getting away from your regular routine expands the mind. Just do it.
I became a travel agent because I love to travel. I help make dreams come true.

New Artwork at Vida
There are three new designs in my Vida collection in time for Juneteenth. Diaspora is the story of people being taken from their homeland to across the sea. The Trade shows a people taken across the desert and through the jungle to the sea. The Underground shines the light on the journey to freedom during dark nights.
It is our story. We have to tell the good and bad of it.
There are all types of items from clothing to household goods.
You can purchase them from My Vida Shop/ UPP Creative
