Create a map for your bus trip. List attractions or tourist areas that are close to the travel area, and discuss adding these attractions to your trip.
List the family members who will choose where to eat during each part of the trip. Each stop or layover may offer an interesting type of cuisine your family has not eaten.
Build momentum for the trip by telling your children about places you will stop. Zoos, fun houses or amusement parks are exciting destinations that are worth the investment of time.
Buy games that the children will play only on your bus trip. You can find a variety of games for children of all ages that can be played on buses.
