This is where you save the big bucks.
Emergency Action Plan, Incident Report, Insurance 
Put your Healthy & Safety vest on, this is the housekeeping that DAD’s like to do. Lol. Mine called the CIA when I went off the grid to an island in Fiji for 10 days… “BULA!!!” Look it up 
Game Time: Get Lost and Find Yourself!
Have a ‘Bon Voyage Bash’ and off you go! Overpacked and sweaty. Lol. But that’s OK… you’ll learn 
Get lost, meet new people, find your way, and have funnnnnn!!!
