CLEARly it's time for a vacation!


I can't believe that it is the end of June already - summer seems to be slipping away so quickly.  Even though I would like it to slow down and last a lot longer than it seems to be, I am anxious to get to the end of July.  We are headed to Maui for a much needed BEACH vacation!  We usually try to go to Maui once a year at the end of summer, but we were not able to go last year since Charlotte was only a couple of months old.  Maui is not as fun if you are waking up every three hours to breastfeed an infant.    

The only downside to a tropical vacation with three kids in tow, is having to deal with getting through airport security and trying to entertain the three of them on a five hour plane ride.  Before having kids I didn't even pay attention to how parents got through security with their kids.  I remember the first time going through security with Landon in the airport.  You want me to what?  Take him out of his car seat and stroller?  Fold up his stroller that is carrying every single item we need to maintain this little life form and put it all on the conveyor belt? WHAT?  It was definitely a rude awakening and we have finally mastered the process with all three kids - but it definitely is a juggling act. 

So when I heard that CLEAR had opened at SFO along with Dallas, Denver and Orlando, I was excited by the thought of not having to wait in a long security cue with all three bambinos pulling on my leg!  To be able to possibly save 10 to 20 minutes of not having to wait in a line with three bored kids could definitely be a blessing.  All you have to do is go the CLEARcard kiosk (where I have never seen a line), verify your biometric information and then you get whisked into airport security.  The best part about having the CLEARcard is that it covers your children under eighteen traveling with you for free! Yes please times three!
