Bring on the Summer
With the warm weather days upon us, long weekends are full of fireworks, fishing, and fun which usually means road trips. The best way to ensure a fun and relaxing time is by being prepared for the excursion. Most travelers already carry a vehicle emergency kit with First Aid items, booster cables, a can of quick tire inflater etc. To ensure that road trip is enjoyable for everyone, here is a list of some items to be sure to pack for that long weekend road trip!
Ready for the Road
- Bottles of water
- Granola bars or something that can tide you over until your next stop
- Baby wipes – great for those in car spills
- Change of clothing – see above
- Extra batteries or car chargers for music players/cell phones/laptops etc
- Travel pillows & blankets (the comfy kind, not those crinkly emergency blankets)
- Portable entertainment IE DVDs, deck of cards, magnetic travel games, hand held video games
- Sunscreen (daytime travel)
- Booklight (nightime travel)
- Large Ziploc bags – great for garbage
In addition it is also a good idea to have a bit of cash (in case your next stop doesn’t take credit or debit), also make sure to bring a map in case your GPS signal is lost. You want to make sure to find that “hideaway” without having to worry about where it is hiding! If you’re are inviting guests to your cottage, make sure they can identify your getaway from the everyday by adding a custom sandblasted cedar
cottage sign to identify your neck of the woods.
Enjoy the Long Weekend and remember to kick back and relax once the travelling part is done. It won’t be long before you are
