There are two popular ways to get to your final destination, driving and flying. Each option has there advantages and disadvantages that would make you lean to one or the other. Both options also depend what you are willing to spend, who you are traveling with, and where you are traveling to.
Driving by car, also called roadtrips, are a popular way to get to your destination if you are not traveling over a large body of water. Going on a roadtrip is a great way to travel with your family or friends because it allows for quality time where you can learn more about each other because you are in a confined space for hours at a time. Driving tends to cost less than flying does but it depends how high gas prices are, how far you are traveling, and how many people you are traveling with. When roadtripping with your friends you can split the price of gas between everyone in the car, so sometimes it is a good idea to pack the car with as many people as there are seatbelts.

Before driving a long distance it is a good idea to make sure the car you are taking is a reliable source of transportation. You want to have the car fully serviced before hitting the road, have the oil changed, the fluids checked, the headlights and taillights checked, make sure the brakes work well, and have air put into your tires. Having a safe car during your roadtrip helps put everyone's mind at ease knowing you all are traveling in a safe vehicle that has been checked by a professional. You also want to make sure to fill up the gas tank before you head out of town because you do not want to stop just a couple hours after you started because you forgot to fill up the tank, so it is more convenient to just fill it up before you leave. To also keep everyone safe you want to make sure no one drives while they are tired. Driving while you are tired is very dangerous and can cause harm to people in the same car as you and to other people on the road. The safest option is to either take turns driving and when you are not driving sleep in the car or stop during the night and stay in a hotel room to get a good night sleep and hit the road in the morning.
It is a good idea to have games in mind and music ready for your drive no matter how long it is. It is really convenient that most cars, vans, and sport utility vehicles have TVs and DVD players located right inside so that can keep kids entertained for hours because they can watch their movies and play their video games. Coloring books and crayons are also a good idea to have on hand to keep children entertained. Interactive games can be a good way to pass the time as well. Games like eye spy, the alphabet game, the name game, and pididdle are all great games any age can enjoy. Other than games to keep everyone entertained you can always turn to music. If the games get boring you can always stop and see the sites on your way to your final destination. Museums and popular landmarks can be easy to come by and it is a good way for everyone to get out of the vehicle, stretch your legs, and to get a little physical for a bit.
