Life is a Highway...

Spring break is officially upon us!  According to the news and probably because of the current state of our economy, many of you are planning road trips to accommodate your travel needs.  What is the most important aspect to consider when planning a roadtrip?  Music, of course.  With the help of www.jetpack.com, we've compiled a list of songs that will make your road trip fly by!
We have also gathered some helpful tips we've found online for you as you prepare to make some fun road memories this spring break:

·        Get your car checked before you go: Make sure that your car is in the best shape to handle all elements that come along with travel. By getting your car looked at before you go, you can save time, money and ensure the safety of all your travelers. Take the time to do this and you won’t regret it.

·        First aid/Car kit:  Make sure that you have an auto first aid kit made for readily available in your car. Regardless if your fellow road warriors are accident prone or not, it’s a good idea to have one.  From Band-Aids to motion sickness medicine to light sticks, these kits make you ready and able for any situation that may arise while you are on the road!  They are fairly inexpensive and won’t take up much room.

·        Hungry hippos: Even if you’re taking a short trip, it’s a good idea to pack some snacks: both perishable and non-perishable items. Even with smart phones and GPS systems, it's best to be prepared.

·        Don’t advertise your travels: With the popularity of facebook and other social media outlets, people are becoming increasing more likely and comfortable announcing their travel plans than ever before. Avoid doing this; when seemingly harmless information is put into the wrong hands, it’s no longer harmless.  Instead, wait to share the news of your travels when you get back and show off pictures and tell any memories you might have made.  This is the kind of information people want and should know about your travels.
Happy roadtripping!
