Planning a road trip? Then you're already on the right track. The key to a successful road trip is to at least plan a little bit. If you don't, then it will be a lot more hectic, stressful, and you will most likely forget to do or bring something. To avoid all that, must make a list of things you need to bring and what you absolutely need to do before you leave the house. That way you will probably not forget anything and you will feel a lot less stressed. You should make sure that you pack a lot of snacks, drinks, and entertainment items like books on tape to keep your mind occupied-this is especially important if you are going on a really long drive. Having music and things to listen to will help you to beat boredom as well as stay alert and awake. Plan a little.
