Seeing that I've done a cross country drive probably over 20 times, and the Calagry-Vancouver drive countless times too, I consider myself a bit of an expert in this area, and I decided to write a guide to help any and all of you who have to one day face this terrible challenge.
1.Food: Feel free to eat all the junkfood you want, but when you can feel terrible later in the day- you know where it came from. On the other hand, if you're driving through the states, make sure to check out all the burger joints we don't have up north, sometimes that shitty driving feeling is worth it. Also, eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thristy. If you're not-DON'T DO IT! It leads to that shitty feeling, and unnecessary rest stops.
2. Rest Stops: Eat and er-evacuate at the same rest stop. If you do one, you'll be stopping to do the other soon enough and once you get on the road, you really just want to get where you're going, so stopping is not really in your best interest
3. Entertainment: Make sure to have lots of movies,books and charged iPod batteries. If you get carsick while reading or watching movies, set up a tent with a blanket so you don't see the movement outside. Trust me, you will need the dostractions.
4.Try to sleep as much as possible, there is no better feeling than waking up and the clock is an hour further forward than when you fell asleep
So, really since there is nothing to do in a car this is my entire guide, but if you have any further questions about roadtrippin, please do not hesitate to ask.
