Ingredients
- 1 complete plan (know when and where you are going)
- 1 map (or substitute with GPS or smart phone app)
- 1 copilot (recommended for long drives)
- 2-3 activities for the children (as needed) – drivers and copilots can become distracted trying to entertain the children.
- 1 generous dose of patience – to offset the combination of heavy traffic, fatigue, and anticipation.
Preparation
- Pack your bags into the car the night before your trip to avoid a delayed and rushed departure.
- Familiarize yourself with your route. Look it up before you begin driving. If you need clarification en route, pull over or ask your copilot. Don’t read directions while driving.
- For best results, prepare yourself with a good night’s sleep the night before.
Notes
Leave earlier, drive slower, live longer.
