Planning a road trip or flying over a busy holiday weekend? I shared my top tips on Scripps News to help make your travel experience smooth and enjoyable. With crowded airports and busy highways, a little extra preparation goes a long way.
Check the Weather – Before hitting the road or heading to the airport, review the forecast for your route and destination. Sudden weather changes can impact your plans, so knowing what to expect will help you prepare.
Plan for Delays – Holiday weekends are notoriously busy, so it’s wise to leave extra time in your schedule. Aim to arrive at the airport early and have alternative routes ready if you’re driving.
Check Your Vehicle – For road trips, make sure your car is ready to go by inspecting key components like tire pressure, oil, and fluid levels. A quick wash and windshield cleaning will also improve visibility and make the drive more enjoyable.
Pack Smart – For both road trips and flights, keep essentials easily accessible. Snacks, water, chargers, and emergency supplies like a first-aid kit can make all the difference in a pinch.
Stay Calm – Travel stress can be high, but keeping a positive attitude and staying patient with crowds and delays will make the journey more enjoyable.
