Everyone loves road trips right? Crammed into a small car for hours on end without any leg room, sounds lovely. If you are one of those people that despises road trips let us give you a few tips to make them more enjoyable.
4 Road Trip Must Do’s
Rough Plans
Do not be hard headed and stick to a rigid plan. Road trips should have some spontaneity. Make sure that all you have is an end place and a rough time. Make stops along the way at places you deem cool, its a great way to break the monotony of the trip and see news things.
Car Prep
The worst thing you want to have happen to you is a breakdown. When you are far from home this is a very expensive hurdle to overcome. Worst case, your car needs to be towed to a shop, the parts aren’t available and you have to spend the night in a dingy motel. Not fun, so make sure you prep your car properly.
- Oil Change
- Spare Tire
- Small Road Side Toolkit
- Jug of Water
- Tires filled and double checked
Pack Right
There is not a lot of space to being with, so do not plan on bringing everything. Pack much less then you need and make sure to have two bags. A bigger one for the trunk with things you will not need until the destination, and a smaller one you can have in the car with you. This small pack can contain some snacks, pillows, blankets etc. Keep it light.
Entertainment
Especially if you have kids, good and long entertainment is a must. Tablets work great for this as you can watch movies and TV shows. Did you know Netflix now lets you download Movies and TV Shows for later watching? This is a life saver to many. Bringing a pack of cards for your riders helps too when the batteries die.
We hope wherever you road trip to that you get there safe and do not lose your mind completely.
