13 Things to Know for Your Summer Road Trip
1. Don't have a definitive schedule
Take the time to explore. Stop when you see a pretty view. Get out and watch the earth swallow the sun. Pull over when you see something unique. Take the time to get out and stretch. Do handstands.
"Expectations make poor travel companions"
2. Go with great travel companions.
Make sure your travel buddies are like-minded. Make sure they love the same music, enjoy coffee, are spontaneous, and no complainers allowed (this can quickly make the trip feel like an eternity).
3. Make iTunes and Spotify playlists
Jamming out to the right music while looking at a beautiful scenery with the windows cracked makes all the difference. This can make moments feel infinite.

Get a California burrito from that random hole in the wall taco shop. Get unique foods that are local to the area. In saying that, don't pass up some fries and a McDouble. Just keep the drive thrus to a minimum when you can.
5. Download comedian podcasts
Seriously, listening to comedians in the car passes time and is so entertaining.
(Also listen on Pandora)
When you start to get tired or restless, enjoy some long laughs from witty comedians - and being so slap happy makes it even funnier.
Its an amazing feeling to watch the sunrise and be up when it feels like no one else is. You see things in a different way. There is also very little traffic!
Need I say more? You'd be surprised how easy it is to get burnt when the suns beating in on your through the window!
Some hotels lobbies close early, so be aware if you are going to be arriving late.

9. Bring beach towels to cover car seats
Makes the seats less hot and is spill-proof. They'll come in handy for random stops and picnics as well.

10. Make sure everyone in the car gets the app Venmo
Seriously, check out this app. When everyone is splitting gas, confusing orders at a drive through, ran out of cash, or whatever the situation is, Venmo allows you to charge/pay each other right on your phone so you can easily keep track and it will automatically transfer funds.

11. Keep valuables in a safe and memorable place
Keep passports, cash, cameras, and everything in a safe place. Its very easy to misplace things when you have a car filled with junk!
