    Great post!! and very humerous! I love the tip about checking out the car… reminds me of my rental car in Tonga where we had to start it by pressing two wires together under the hood while the other person turned the key

    Great tips there! As a consistent road tripper myself (albeit on my motorbike) I do believe that choosing your buddies is of utmost importance. You don’t want to be stuck with a bunch of people with whom you are not having any fun! Another important thing to take care if is the sharing of responsibilities during the trip. But the jerks that my friends are, I end up doing all the things. Does not matter. They are awesome people. But every once in a while I do feel the need to take some load of my back!

    Humorous post! Keep it up!
    Cheers

    I second tip #1 – pick your road trip partners wisely!

    It can be a really great experience or a really bad experience 🙂

    Helpful post! Apart from the points you’ve mentioned here, I would like to add few more points: Plan the route and buy maps, book accommodation ahead, have a kitty (for fun), and make sure you have best music system in your car.

    Cool post!
    Road trips are a blast but you’re absolutely right, they can become a disaster if you choose the wrong people to travel with. Another thing we like to have with us on a road trip is a small cooler for food & drinks!

    Cheers for the humorous post.

    Safe Travels.

    Loooveeee road trips, mostly mine are much smaller versions, but the music one is the *big* one. Mostly my fault because I insist on something, but you are right, it should all be sharing and caring!
