Watch the weather, and try to plan traveling days around storms.
Don't forget to pack the maps, and have a back-up route in case the roads you're traveling have construction or are shut down.
Allow extra time for delays, break-downs, and pit stops.
Before you leave, take your vehicle in for a tune-up. Make sure you or your mechanic checks tire pressure, tire tread, lug nuts, brakes, windshield wiper fluid, and antifreeze levels.
Stock your car with must-have emergency items, such as a flashlight, jumper cables, first aid kit, tow rope, spare tire, and extra food and water.
Make frequent stops and stay hydrated, so when you do arrive at your destination, you're not too tired to enjoy yourself.
