Hey vjers

u all know my wife is coming on thursday moring and i will drive all night to houston and pick her in the morning and bring her back to home in louisiana which is about 6 hours drive, before the 6 hours car ride she will spend 24 hours on the planes and airports. I appreciate if u can suggest anthing to make her feel comforatble in the car and at home. I know she will miss her family bcz that is the first time she is leaving home and first time she is flying. I am taking my laptop so she can talk to her family right after she make the landing at houston, i am carrying a extra pillow and blanket or sheets for her so she can relax in the car and i will treat her nice lunch some where in between, any thing else u think please share.

Perhaps stop at a hotel (if possible), let her get some rest and take a long shower...then hit the road. just a thought.

Hmmmm...a hotel stop would be good if there was some actual sleeping going on, but I know in my case, sleep after months of separation from my wife would be the last thing I would be doing in that hotel. Phew! :devil::o:devil:

6 hour drive back to Louisiana is not that bad.. she can sleep while you're driving but hotel stop is not a bad idea too it's really up to you guys. :star:

i really wanna make home so she can sleep for a day or two without any problem. no noise no tv no music no phone. and i think she will be much more confortable at home than hotel but the problem is she loves hotels and i hate to stay in hotel but if she wants i will let her do it. it is all up to her and will let her choose, thanks, abby

Im sure you will be tired too from driving all night to Houston, can you still drive back to Louisiana? I suggest you stay in a hotel for few hours then head back in the afternoon. But it is good if you can take her home immediately so she can have a straight rest and you cook for her a nice dinner...hehehe! The best thing is, ask what she prefer the moment she arrives. Good luck!

A nice selection of chocolate might be good too...

I also vote for the hotel if only to get a nice hot shower. Having made that trip 3 times now I know its a shower that I crave by the time I finally land.
