The Road Trip Vacation
An exciting way to spend your vacation is to take a road trip.
Many of us are in love with our cars, washing, waxing, and polishing them until they are gleaming bright.
Well, for a road trip, they need to run as hassle free as possible.
To do so, you need to give your car a good over all inspection.
How are the tires, the depth of the tread, the tire pressure? Is it time to have the tires rotated? What condition is the spare tire in? You don't want to wait until you get a flat tire and then find out the spare tire is missing or needs air.
Also, before you head out on the road for your vacation you need the check the battery, look over the timing belt for cracks and signs of wear and tare.
Check the oil and change it along with the oil filter, check the air cleaner and filter, along with other fluids as well.
Fluids like coolant, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid and the wiper blades.
Inside the car you should run the air conditioner and heater too.
After you car is operating at peak performance, there are other safety options to consider.
Do you have jumper cables, a blanket, flashlight, road flares and a working jack? Plus, a basic toolbox is nice to have as well, with wrenches, screwdrivers, and maybe a breaker bar.
All of these will ensure a safe worry free road trip vacation.
Now you need to determine what your vacation destination is and the length of stay.
Are you going on a day trip, for the weekend, a week, or longer? Who will be driving? Do you have one or multiple drivers? What are the age ranges of the passengers accompanying you? Are they all adult or are you taking children as well? Prepare for stops along the way to stretch, eat and fuel up.
Don't to forget to think of some games to play and bring water and snacks.
A pillow or two may be welcomed as well.
Something else to have on hand is spare change for Toll Roads.
There is nothing worse than facing a Toll Booth with no change on hand, although most have an attendant on duty in at least one lane.
Taking a road trip can be a fun relaxing vacation experience, if it is thoughtfully planned out.
It has also become easier than ever to stay on course with the help of navigation equipment that can be bought or most likely factory installed in modern cars.
So, if it's a drive to Grandma's, an amusement park, or an educational adventure that awaits.
The road trip vacation, can bean enjoyable inexpensive way to achieve a refreshing change of scenery.
