8. If you have a Satellite Navigation /GPS system make sure it is
updated with maps and postcodes or co-ordinates of all hotels /
travel destinations on your route pre-saved as favourites (this
saves a lot of time!). Have maps for each destination with local
attractions, points of interest (do your research online for each
destination and make a list of possible attractions before setting
off. Print copies and keep them to hand so you don’t waste time
searching for tourist information centres and subsequently arguing
over what to see or do)
Planning Tip
9. Pack a change of clothes for everyone and keep separate from the
rest of your luggage so they can be accessed quickly. This is a must
for young children but also useful for adults in the event of any
travel sickness or spilt drinks!
Planning Tip
10. Food and Drinks. Last but definitely not least! Make sure you
have plenty of snacks and juice for everyone. Plastic bottles with
sports caps are ideal for all ages. In the winter a flask of hot
chocolate or coffee is perfect. Everyone gets hungry on roadtrips
but try not to pack too much junk food, healthy snacks or fruit are
ideal.
