Vacations are fun and all that but airports, airplanes, and everything else that comes with them can make it an enormous hassle. Don’t let your attempt to escape your normal daily life become a headache! Predicting possible scenarios in your trip helps you prepare for them so that they do not stress you throughout the trip. Here are some things that will definitely make your travel hassle-free.
1. Get Your Car Inspected
If you would rather bring a car than to commute, you better be certain that that vehicle won’t be a problem. Have the car checked for possible repairs before the trip; opt for a ride that ensures fuel economy, passenger comfort, cargo volume, off-road ability and cruise control. Secured safety features like airbags, traction control, vehicle stability, and tire pressure monitor system should also be a non-negotiable.
2. Bring A Map With You
What if your phone goes haywire all of a sudden? Or you end up in an unfamiliar area with no service? Then you’d end up not knowing which route to go because you relied on one source for GPS. Better have a backup gadget as well as a map because when all your gadgets are rendered useless for some reason, you’d still be able to figure out your next move if you get lost without needing internet or any gadget.
3. Check The Weather
This one may seem like a no-brainer, but especially if you are travelling a good distance, the weather can be significantly different from where you start. If you encounter any intense weather, being prepared will be key. If you are travelling through an area that will be snowy and icy, make sure your car is equipped with appropriate tires. Your perfect mountain vacation will be ruined if you can’t make it up the steep slopes! Be informed about the weather before you leave and you will be better prepared.
4. Entertainment
Yes you’re going somewhere to have fun, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy yourself on the way there! If you’re driving make sure you prepare a playlist you enjoy because music can affect the driver’s mood, which means he can be as engaged or not on the wheels depending on the music he hears. If you’ll be a passenger throughout, prepare movies or TV series that you can watch on your phone or iPad and don’t forget to charge them and bring powerbank just in case. Otherwise they’ll be useless.
5. Pack Some Snacks
Yes, you need to eat when your stomach calls for it, but you’ll get tired right away, not to mention gain more weight if you stop for fast food every time your tummy growls. Have a stash of easy snacks that are a good combo of protein, carbs, and healthy fats to keep you satisfied in the car not to mention that by packing your own snack it’s also mean you get to save money because buying fast food all the time ain’t cheap.
6. Get Your Car Windows Tinted
Accidents happen even to the most cautious people. This is why it’s good to have an extra layer of protection especially on your car windows. Direct impact often leads to glass shattering which can cause wounds to you and your passengers. But if you install automotive film on your car windows, this will prevent the glass from shattering because the film helps hold the glass together even when broken. Plus you don’t have to deal with the glare while driving as well as worry about UV rays because installing quality car tint can reduce harmful UV rays by up to 99%.
