Grandma Heidi is my mother-in-law. She and her husband, Dr. Widger, spend 9 months a year away from their home in Ellicottville, NY. Most of their time is spent in Beaver Creek, Colorado. But they also spend several weeks traveling to other favorite spots in northern Oregon, coastal Georgia and a handful of secluded destinations in North America. By anyone’s standards, they are travel pros. Heidi’s recommendations are very comprehensive, as they include not only packing items but Grandma Heidi’s Pre-Departure Checklist and Grandma Heidi’s Departure Day Check List as well. Thank you to Grandma Heidi for submitting these!
