Travel Terminology

• Carafe: fancy term for a container commonly used to hold coffee. Equivalent to the holy grail in my book.
• Fartlek (Swedish for speedplay): The desperate sprint from the minivan to the restrooms.
• Buggy: Southern term for what is known as a "shopping cart".  The first time a lady in Walmart used this term I had no idea what she was talking about. She must have thought that I was pretty weird since I looked at her like she was an alien who asked me if I wanted to eat a cookie from mars.
