The spread of coronavirus has changed every aspect of our daily life. From a dynamic daily routine, we have shifted to a social distancing situation, with few or no contact with anyone. Most of our 2020 resolutions have to be postponed as the virus has undoubtedly affected almost all our plans.
However, while the pandemic has peaked in many countries, it is now showing a downward trend, leaving us in hopes of going back to the old reality. As we see the trend dropping, we need to start rethinking our previous plants and revitalizing them.
Well after all this time, aren’t you feeling the urge to get in your car and drive away to wherever the open road takes you, either in your home country or in an overseas terrain? You are in for the most exciting phase in your life.
Road tripping gives you the chance to explore neighborhoods and terrains at your own pace. However, you need to put in a little planning if you are to have the road trip of your time, whether or not you are road tripping around specific sites. Planning saves you time and keeps you safe while traveling, especially post corona traveling.
1. Get a guide book
This is a travel guide that helps you understand the route you will be following through your trip. It gives you an idea of the restaurants to eat at, accommodation options for different locations, and all the historical and cultural information that you will need for a smooth trip. Note that there are many types of guide books, with each type focusing on a unique aspect of travel. You need to find a guide that represents your sexual orientation, income, diet, health, relaxation needs, and adventure preferences.
2. Restaurant reservations
You need to make arrangements for where you will be eating well in advance, for each city or town you will be passing through. It is not ideal to make reservations for a specified time before leaving home, but you can always book one a few hours to the time you will be arriving in the city. Making reservations is easier now than ever before, thanks to the mobile apps and improved websites that almost every restaurant now has.
3. An automatic car
If you will be driving abroad, a car with a manual transmission might not be your ideal car. Driving a stick-shift in a foreign land and under completely strange road infrastructure and safety rules can be very uncomfortable. Book an automatic transmission car in advance.
4. An international driving permit (IDP)
Still, on overseas road trips, you will need the right documentation for you to be eligible to rent a car as well as to drive. An international driving permit (IDP) is one such document.
5. Accommodation
Booking any form of accommodation – will help you get the right luxury, convenience, and appeal for your needs and budget. Note that accommodation rates fluctuate within short time spans, and availability can change considerably in hours. You cannot afford to risk arriving in a town without a clear idea of where you will sleep, or how much it will cost you. Some of the most important things to plan for is accommodation. If you are on a Connecticut to Florida road trip, for example, you will need to take breaks during the trip, so you might need to book family vacation rentals where you can lay your head at night. That allows you to explore all the incredible sights without getting fatigued.
6. Things to do and attractions
Book a few attraction sights beforehand so that you can have it easy when planning your itinerary. A road trip doesn’t mean you will be driving through the day and sleeping all night. You will need to stop once in a while to explore landscapes and try different cuisines. You might not be able to plan your itinerary minute by minute, but it will help you a lot if you can book attractions that are by the roadside and that are close together. That will save you time and fuel costs.
7. Parking garage
Booking parking garages in advance helps you get the cheapest and safest option. You will also find a garage that is within a reasonable distance from your accommodation. Remember that time is of the essence when on a road trip. And because you will be on the road for days or weeks on end, you need to find garages that have the best car inspection and repair services.
