Lol, I personally would go crazy without access to books for two weeks!

We have a similar routine for our longer, international vacations. For example, we're going to Italy for 3 weeks. I will load both my Kindle and iPad with ebooks (so two people don't have to share one reader!). For DD6 I will also bring along some math word problems, a journal for writing, a small activity unit on Renaissance artists (to supplement what she learned at school this year), and a few easy to pack trivia games.

My DD also gets carsick and can't read in the car. That is where audiobooks are a lifesaver. Charlotte's web and mr poppers penguins Are two favorites in our house. She also listens to a lot of music (but music is her passion, and might not be as entertaining to others!) in the car.
