Step 1
Photo Thanks to: buspasscentre.co.ukPREPARE FOR THE TRIP 1-2 NIGHT(S) BEFORE DEPARTURE: Make a realistic list of the things you need to bring on the road trip. Be sure and try to pack as lightly as possible! If you're packing for your children be sure to make a list for them as well. If you're getting snacks and drinks for the trip make a list and buy them a day BEFORE the trip.

Organize the car a bit before the day of the trip. Get rid of trash and clutter. If possible, START PUTTING THINGS in your vehicle the night before, this will minimize stress and worrying the day of the trip. Also, ADD GAS & check the tires the night before also so that you can be ready the day of departure.
