Many road trips can often be as fun and as memorable as the experience that is had after arriving at the destination. Other road trips are memorable for other reasons that are not quite so enjoyable, and you may only wish that you can someday look back on the experience and laugh about it. Planning ahead is a key part of a successful and enjoyable road trip, especially one that is going to last for at least 5 days. Here are some tips that will keep you and your party from wanting to inflict bodily harm upon one another before you reach your destination.

The first thing you can do that is sure to please everyone involved is to clean your vehicle. The cleaner the vehicle is, the more comfortable the environment will be. Comfort can be one of the most important things you can strive for in a long road trip. You also don't want any curious smells from food or clothing to make a surprise appearance along the way either.
The next part of the plan involves carefully ch
oosing your route. Emotions can run pretty high on the highway if you run into huge amounts of traffic along the way, so having an escape route or two in your back pocket can come in real handy. Also, beware of choosing country roads that are known for being bumpy or with a lot of hills. This can especially be important if you have people who become car sick easily.

Satellite radio can be a terrific thing when traveling long distances. Instead of scouring around trying to find something to listen to on AM/FM radio, or listening to the same cds over and over again, satellite radio will end any disputes over the radio before they even begin. No matter where you go, your favorite stations will be with you. Bad weather is the only thing that will potentially be a problem, but that's a perfect time to break out those cds.

Other tips including carrying phone cards in case your cell phone will not work because of the different service areas, joining a roadside service in case you run into vehicle trouble, and distributing jobs such as driver and navigator in the vehicle according to people's strengths can all keep you from pulling your hair out. Be armed with plenty of pleasant conversation and be willing to adapt to other's choices for food and accommodations and you will be well on your way to having a successful road trip.
