Planning is essential to ensuring hiccups are kept to a bare minimum, so you can enjoy the most out of your trip. You should map out what attractions you would like to stop in to along the way and decide the safest route to get to your destination. Taking all things into consideration, gas or recharging stations, rest stops, and meal options are important for your checklist. Make your reservations ahead of time for any attractions, hotels, or restaurants to confirm availability. Other helpful tips are to check the weather forecasts, road closures, toll routes and any other restrictions along your journey.
