This goes against what many are inclined to do, drive for as long as possible, and then rest for a long time.]]> 2017-09-20 08:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189206541 hamish_lewis1 https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189207101 Stop 1: Goulburn]]> 2017-09-20 08:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189207101 hamish_lewis1 https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189207727 Stop 2: Albury ]]> 2017-09-20 08:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189207727 hamish_lewis1 https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189208278 Stop 3: Melourne]]> 2017-09-20 08:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189208278 hamish_lewis1 https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189209469 1.Make lists a week or two before the trip. List what will go in your suitcase and make another list of things you need to do before the trip. This can include getting a car tune-up, or washing/waxing/cleaning the car. This will help you be less stressed since everything is written on paper, and you will be less likely to forget something.
2. Talk to people going on the trip beforehand. If you have people going with you on the trip, make sure you have everything planned out. Set a time for rest stops and when to switch turns in driving.
If you are one of several who drives, create a schedule to figure out who drives when and where.
Plan when you will take rest stops and when you will get food.
3. Choose your seat once you get in the car, if permitted. Try not to sit behind someone who is notorious for pulling their seat back. Sitting by the window is generally a good choice, as you can open it if you need air and you can view the sights that you pass by.
Don't fight over seating. Switch around and share the different places.
Be considerate of anyone who gets very sick in the back seat––let them sit in the front.]]> 2017-09-20 08:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189209469 hamish_lewis1 https://padlet.com/hamish_lewis1/j9zn4fn4vnyp/wish/189210591 - Fatigue can impair your driving.
