Have a Road Trip Planned?

Spontaneity is a fun and essential part of vacation, but for a long car ride (especially with little kids) a little bit of advanced planning can make all the difference. Here are a few tips and suggestions to make your journey as much fun as your destination.

Road Trip Snacks

You can’t go wrong with a simple snack mix. Make a big batch of popcorn and then mix in everyone’s favourite add-ins like dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, pretzels, crackers or dried cereal.
