POV: You’re flying a budget airline and luggage isn’t included with your ticket so you get backpacks for the whole family that can fit clothes & shoes for 5 days as well as pass as a personal item. I booked our flights to South Dakota on Allegiant because they were super cheap. About $750 for all 6 of us, vs the $2400 on other airlines. I can’t imagine getting super cheap ticket and then spending almost the same amount on luggage 😂 because the price of luggage round trip would have cost more than the actual plane ticket 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️!! No water, no snacks, no carry on, no free seats and no luggage! But who cares when you’ve got backpacks like this and you pack your own snacks before the flight? 🙌🏾 PS, these backpacks will pass just fine on any budget airline as a personal item! 😉 For someone who flies budget airlines very often and I’m always tryna save money, I love these backpacks! And the kids do too. Plus the padding is soft making it easy to carry, and that front chest buckle is clutch too! ✈️ Do you fly budget airlines too? Do you pay for a carry on luggage or not? Tell me your favorite hack! 😃 …….. #budgettravel #budgettraveltips #travelwithkids #travelhacks #blackfamily #blacktravelers

POV: You’re an American who ordered a “pepperoni” pizza 🍕 in an Italy 🇮🇹 and this is what you got! Trust me I won’t make that mistake again 😂! I had to order another pizza, this time, I asked for a margherita pizza with salami on it! And yes I had to pay for both pizza’s. It was a miscommunication, but also my fault. ➡️ Has this ever happened to you? #themomtrotteritaly #travelitaly #pizzaitaly #pizzaitaliana

I woke up this morning to my 11yr old making himself an egg sandwich for breakfast. I usually make him breakfast but he wanted to do it by himself! He even offered to make some for me too. What a sweet boy 🥰.

Aiden stumbled into this store as we were exploring the square in Pistoia and he loved it! He is currently obsessed with all things Anime especially One Piece. 😃 #anime #onepieceanime #onepieceluffy #pistoia #tuscany
