Tips for a Fun All-Girls Road Trip

Summer is coming and we all know what that means: road trip time! There are so many places that you can go, and for so many reasons. Many of us can remember being in the car for family trips, and sometimes those were fun - and okay, sometimes those were really not fun. One of my friends, the youngest of five remembers that her father would never stop the car when she had to go to the bathroom. This has made her probably the most courteous road trip driver I've ever known. She'll stop for the bathroom, or for a photo opportunity at the blink of an eye.

It can be fun to take an all-girls road trip. Here are some tips to make your trip even more fun. So whether you are traveling cross country, or visiting Elvis, or just going up the highway a piece - you'll have a blast. Here's what you need to make your all-girls road trip one you won't want to come home from.

Tip #1: Have a plan. Plan out your trip and get directions to where you are going. Double-check the directions on the Internet at one of the popular directions websites like Mapquest or Yahoo! Maps. If you are going for several days and driving for awhile, see if you can figure out where you can stay along the way, and reserve motel/hotel rooms. Keep everything about your trip in an envelope so you've got directions, reservations etc. all in one place. There is a much different feeling when you know you've got a room for the night and it is 8:00 p.m. and you're still on the highway. A little planning won't spoil the spontaneity, it will just be a great back-up to help you enjoy your trip.

Tip # 2: Have great tunes. Make some mix CDs of music that everyone will like for your road trip. Even better, have everyone bring a mix CD for the road trip, so you'll have plenty of music.
