A little planning can go a long way toward making your road trip
the adventure of your dreams. These road-tested tips will help you
head happily for the horizon.
Identify the purpose of your trip. Why are you taking this trip?
If you can answer that, you'll know how much planning will be
required. Of course there are plenty of folks who want their
journey to be unplanned and spontaneous, but if the trip is going
to be more than a couple of hours, its better if you have a plan.
Know your style. Are you the type who has to have hotel
reservations to feel comfortable, or are you happy stopping at the
nearest roadside motel when the sun goes down? Do you like to
have a detailed route plotted out in advance, or do you like letting
serendipity influence your route once you hit the road?
