Road Trip


If you’re planning a road trip – don’t forget the flip flops and the paper map!

The tank is full, you’ve got some snacks and suitcases – but you might need to pack a few more items. Road Warrior Britt Reints has a survival list for your road trip:



• Registration and insurance card – make sure they are not from last year – or on the kitchen counter.

• Sunglasses – have them in reach before you hit the road.

• A garbage bag – and backup garbage bags so you can toss them as you go.

• A map - an actual paper map. Even if you don’t need it, it could quiet the “Are we there yet?” passengers. Kids can mark the route as you go.

• Flip flops. People who take their shoes off on long trips can just slip them on for rest stops. The driver should keep their real shoes on though.

If you’re traveling with kids, pack some games or a surprise – or have an on the road activity in mind. Bickering kids can ruin even a short trip and set the tone for the rest of the day.
