MAP IT
First, make sure you have mapped out your entire trip. Whether it be an old fashioned map, or an iPad, you must be sure that you know exactly where you are headed, and know of any detours that you may need to take while on the way. Also, be sure to plot out any rest areas or towns to stop off in when you are feeling tired or hungry.
MAKING MUSIC
Make sure your car is a CD player, radio, or ability to play your iPod, so that you can have a good variety of background music. You don’t want to be stuck in different towns listening to music you don’t like or all static. This will help with boredom. Also, your passengers should have some sort of music apparatus with earphones. This will be less distracting to both driver and passenger.
CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?
Make sure you have plenty of spare change on hand. You will obviously need money for gas and tolls along the way, but some roads are set up with toll gates, roads you may not be aware of. You can’t pass until you give money, so have spare change on hand in the event you run into something like that. Some towns also require you to pay to use a restroom, so be sure to be prepared for that as well.
SNACK ATTACK
Probably one of the most important things to have on hand during a long road trip is food. Of course, food can be purchased along the way, but to help keep costs down, you should stock up before hand. Bringing food with you is very important for long road trips, as you will want to be sure to keep your sugar levels up and your belly full. It is best to choose options that are very healthy for you, and not just choose chips and soda. Granola bars or fresh fruit is a good idea.
BOOK IT
Lastly, make sure all of your travel arrangements are made as far as accommodations. You don’t want to assume hotels will have availability. Make sure before hand you have a place to stay, and all will be fine.
