Does the thought of a family road trip strike fear into your heart? My family and I have been fortunate to take many road trips during the past 25 years, and memories from those trips are dear to our hearts.
In the beginning, we got on the road with no planning. After some time, however, we understood it was best to do some planning. If you are considering a long road trip, I would humbly suggest that you plan beforehand.
Compiling a checklist can save you money and time, and it will definitely add quality to the trip itself. You can also assign age appropriate tasks, thus making sure everyone pitches in the fun.
Feel free to be creative and come up with your own checklist, or use the one at the end of this article. These are some of the things you will need to keep track of:
Your travel budget (make sure your money gets spent on what you REALLY want), What food to take in the car (save big over buying snacks in gas stations), Things you can do on the trip, including games, Vital extras that can actually make or break a family road trip, And of course, directions, phone numbers and ticket information.
Paying attention to details can lead to a successful road trip. This is just an example:
A mess in the car is no big deal when you have plenty of extra plastic bags and moist towelettes. If you have nothing to clean the mess with, a sick child or a spilled beverage can break the mood of the trip.
Worried about hearing "are we there yet" so many times your ears will pop? You can remedy the problem with some travel activities. But, it will be necessary to structure the activities for maximum result.
A road trip can save you quite a bit of money compared to the cost of flying your family to your vacation destination. And, you will have transportation once you arrive.
However, you will be, in effect, living in your car with several people for several days. A structure plan will make the trip easier. If everything is planned out, the trip can be a fun part of the vacation.
A road trip is an especially great way to spend long chunks of quality, unhurried time together as a family. This is where you will make the sweetest memories, Mom or Dad. It will be just your family in that car, to talk, to sing, and to laugh together for hours on end.
Be patient and flexible. These two qualities can ensure the success of the trip.
