My reliable Merriam-Webster iOs app defined "road trip" as:
In this fast paced world, travelling by car (especially when a plane is available) is not really ideal. Right? So why do people opt for it? Some say, it's cheaper (true!); whereas some would say because it's more fun especially when you're with your friends. I would have to agree with the latter.
Three days ago, the boyfriend and I decided to go on a holy week excursion to the South of Cebu. We brought with us a cooler of Corona, soda, and some chips. The original plan was just to stop at Alcoy, Cebu, find a resort and stay there. However, all rooms were taken and so a decision was made to just go straight to my boyfriend's hometown - Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, Philippines. For such a long drive, here are some tips to have a fun-filled road trip:
First, prepare a good playlist in your iPod or some other music device.
•I am blessed with a car that has awesome speakers in it. I like to sing-slash-listen to feel good songs while driving. Besides, all the money I spent to have those sound system installed in my car must be put to good use, right?
Second, bring food...good food.
•It's hard to find food spots in places you're not familiar with. So, unless you can settle for fastfood, you better bring good food with you. This includes drinks by the way.
Third, be a conversationalist.
•Long hour drives are easier to endure when you have someone to talk too. Don't worry about a good topic, it just spontaneously pops up.
Fourth, bring and prepare your camera.
•This is especially true when you are not the one driving. There are lots of sights and sceneries along the road. A shutterbug like me wouldn't want to miss those sights.
Fifth, bring a happy and positive spirit with you.
•Take it from me, this could be the beat tip I can give you. No one wants to travel with someone who is weary and down throttled! NO ONE!
Here are some snap shots during my recent road trip. Enjoy!!
