EXPERT ROAD TRIP TIPS (for long distance trips)

I feel so seen! My husband and I also switch every 2 hours on trips and I always put on a musical to help pass the time and keep me engaged. My go-to's are Hamilton & Phantom of the Opera 🎶

Bwahaahaaa I would personally die if I had to sit through musical theater during a drive 🤣 my husband and I are the same with drive music rules…and like you both- one uses noise canceling headphones when the other is driving ha haaaa.

Great tips! Like how you use the small coffee pot.. while it looks cool to grind the beans and do the pour over, it’s such a time suck when all you want is COFFEE. Safe travels! ❤

Hey y’all, enjoyed all the driving tips and I saw on here that y’all came thru Bama, so awesome that’s where I am is Southeast Bama, should meet up sometime if y’all come thru southeast Bama :)

Music is such an individual thing, and I am blessed to have a wife that agrees with me that Silence is Golden. In May/June 2019 we did a road trip from San Jose to San Diego to Key West to Maine to Quebec to Seattle to San Jose, 11,000 miles in 32 days. We rented a car and stayed wherever tripadvisor told us to. But....we never turned on the radio or played any music for the entire trip. Did a lot of talking :) As I was returning the car at the end of the trip I realized I had never even tried to turn the radio on. BTW, was a wonderful trip, the brisket in Odessa, TX is the best. The beach in Ogunquit, Maine is the prettiest. Really enjoy watching you two play along in your travels, thanks for sharing.

So funny. Luckily the woman that I am with listens to basically the same stuff I do but the banter between you two is funny and totally missing the seat belt buckle is a real struggle LOL

Great tips. Also, now that I see the cheap gas prices in Texas, it makes me want to go there. 😀

Thanks for all the tips. I would add to the altas that (if you can remember) download offline google maps for your road trip. That way if you lose service you still have navigation. The thing I always forget is to delete them after and they take up storage so make sure you do that too after 👍Oh, I finally went to a cracker barrel (in Yuma) and boy was it busy. I checked out the store inside and it was way too bright with a bunch of granda type stuff 😆 I didn't eat there because I rarely eat out, I like to save that money for more gas to see more places 🙌. We (me, Bella can't drive sadly) just drove 14+hrs yesterday to get back to the house (after 3am). We will be here for maybe a week or so and then maybe headed to Sedona. Did you guys get to do anything there?

meghan have you heard of this Scarlett & Seth channel? 358k subs with 26vids.

Sorry to hear about your latest scamming attempt, but I’m glad you guys are going on one last trip with the beast! Knowing what you guys know now and starting van life from scratch again, would you: A) Buy another new/newish van for <=$30k Or B) Find an older van for >$12k to fix up, and put the money saved towards potential repairs?

🤘🤙🧡
