How to Plan a Great Road trip Let’s be honest, while it is nice to get to a destination,

it can definitely be a lot of fun just traveling to that

destination. Finding joy in the journey is what a great

road trip is all about and when you have it planned out

the right way, you are sure to have a fantastic

adventure to remember! Here are some tips to help

you have that amazing road trip.

Purpose Whether you are going on a long motorcycle trip from

the east coast to the west coast with your buddies just

for good ole bonding time, or taking an historical trip to America’s great monuments, it doesn’t matter.

The fact is that you are getting out on the road. When you know your purpose for the road trip though,

you can know what will be important to do along the way. If your purpose is to bond with your buddies,

then you probably won’t be stopping at all of the museums and historical sites along the way. You may

just choose to hit all of the best burger joints in the nation and see some of the gorgeous landscape as

you pass by. Having a purpose will motivate you as you go. The best way to lay things out it is with

milestones. For instances, if you are traveling across the United States, you should find some places

along the way that you want to see, that way you are looking forward to the next destination and not

just the final destination.

Style is everything You may be an outdoorsy type or one of those people who just has to have the most luxurious hotels to

stay in so you feel comfortable along the way. Whatever you are, you need to plan your trip according to

your style. This will give you the best all-around experience. Some things to think about are the types of

food you will want to eat along the way, what you will want to do for entertainment, and what you will

be looking for as far as adventure goes.

Research The best research you can do is by speaking with or even reading up blogs by people who have done a

similar trip. They will tell you all of the best things they did and all of the things that they wish they had

done. The most important thing to listen to is the things they

did that made the trip not as fun as it should have been.

Another type of research is the internet. Not only can you

poor over informative blogs that have a very personal

approach to trips, but you can get maps and other

information on sites and other destinations.

Wherever you let the wind take you, make sure that you are

on top of your game with these tips on how to have a
