2 adults and 1 younger teen
We’re going on a two week road trip that’ll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination
I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out
I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?
We’ve all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I’m looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I’d need to do to use it where there’s no internet? I haven’t used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities
We adults have ps5s. Most likely won’t bring one. I’ve seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?
And making sure we’ve got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well
I’m really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips
Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I’m petrified of flying in the current state of the US
Since we HAVE to make this trip we’re trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we’ll be present. But there’s going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
Power bars and or protein bars - stock a case. Bring water containers and fill them at rest stops at fountains for free. Do not buy anything from the machines at rest stops. Every time you stop for a bathroom break adds 30 minutes or more to your destination time. Caffeine pills instead of coffee stops if you’re on a budget. Go to roadside America ( dot com ) to see if you will pass worthy places like the world’s biggest pencil.
Those rest breaks absolutely add up no matter how quick you try to make them. Fortunately our major stops are in places large enough to have a store to top up snacks and water. There’s two adults so we’re swapping driving duties to lessen the load
Lol I have had a horrible experience with caffeine pills so I’ve sworn those off. I’ll stop and stretch to reinvigorate myself. I learned myself a lesson after consuming too many nodoz and having a self inflicted panic attack
Lastly that site is really cool, thank you for the suggestion! We’ve got a lot of major stops planned but also some leeway for those impromptu side-of-the-road stops
