Have a basic kit that contains essential items such as a first-aid kit, sunscreen, alcohol, wet wipes and tissues. Check the weather in the destination and pack sunglasses and a hat for warm weather or a sweater or windbreaker for cold weather.
Bring food and water, especially for long trips. It is ideal to bring small snacks in small packaging or in plastic lock bags for easy disposal. Bring granola bars, cookies, nuts and dried fruits. Also, do not forget to bring a small jug for drinking water.
Kids get bored easily. Be sure to pack their favorite toys or bring activity books for kids. Having something to do during the travel will take their mind off the time and prevent them from being cranky during the trip.
