Summary: Jumping into a car and driving away down the open road is a dream straight out of Hollywood. Who knows where the road will lead? Maybe you’ll end up on a beautiful beach or on a rugged mountain or in a hot, dry dessert. Anything could happen on a road trip! It’s these unexpected options that make traveling by car so exciting. You can definitely map out a route that will take you to all the major tourist attractions, but if you change your mind along the way, there’s nothing to stop you from going somewhere else. You’re not stuck in a plane or on a train. You’re free to go wherever you want, even if it’s off the beaten path! Sometimes it’s smart to book hotels ahead of time. That way, you can make sure you have a place to sleep. But if you forget, you can always sleep in your car. It might not be very comfortable, but it’s free. Having the right music, food, and friends along for the ride is also important. You’ll be in a small space for a long time, so choose who’s invited wisely!
