Prior to hitting the road –
- Setting aside swimming trunks (getting to use them in warmer climes after they’ve clogged your drawer space ALL YEAR LONG)
- Packing that 1 book you’ve been meaning to read FOR EONS
- Buying some favorite “road warrior” snacks – examples include: Beef jerky (Mingua, if you can find it), Clif bars (Carrot Cake), Twizzlers (Cherry Pull ‘n’ Peel), enough Coke Zero to get to Destination: Wherever
- Printing paper directions [Just in Case – power on the Eastern seaboard abates, cell phones die, tech fails mid-trip]
- Adding those top 10 favorite albums to your car playlist (yes, Bob Marley should be in there…somewhere)
Let’s go!
