On planning a road-trip

Upvote:3

TIPS

Know where to fill up - gas can have a huge difference from state to state / province to province
Just because it is the most expensive does NOT make it the best or most fun
If you know people that have done this track, ask them what they liked and where they stopped
Wal-Mart's are good places to get snacks and nap
Bring A LOT of music

PLANNING

Map out your route using rough estimates (Fill up every X kms, Sleep at B, Eat at C, etc..). But do not expect to follow it to the dot. I find the most fun in a road trip is randomness and unpredictability of the trip. Ensure you over budget every. Plan for a break down, have safety cash. There have been numerous times on road trips where, something "fun" has happened.
