Top 23 Travel Tips For Taking A Summer Road Trip

Planning a summer road trip this year? Do movies like RV and Family Vacation not scare you from the adventures that could await you on your cross country trek? Before you go, make sure you check off these top 23 travel tips.

Look at maps and plan your route. There are many great online maps that do a HYBRID map view showing real streets and routes with satalite images. Knowing the location, and how it looks, by viewing it from space is both cool and very helpful, so you won't get lost.
Research the roads you'll take. You'll especially want to know if you'll be traveling through areas of major road construction. The maps mentioned above are a little dated. Some new roads and maps will not have current, realtime data, bring physical maps, like ones you could buy from AAA along.
Make estimates of travel times along the route, so you'll have an idea when you'll be at certain points on your trip. This will help you to plan rest and meal stops. It will also help you plan to avoid traveling through a major city or area of road construction during rush hour.
Get the car checked, especially the filters, belts, fluid levels and have the oil changed. Don't wait until the last minute, it may take time to get an appointment and parts may need to be ordered. You also want some time to drive around town and make sure that whatever they fixed stays fixed. If you vehicle is 'mission critical' and could die at any moment, DON'T take it with you, borrow a friends car instead.
Check the condition of your wiper blades, both front and back windows.
Check the operation of your turn signals, brake lights as well as the high and low beams. Bring some extra fuses along.
Examine the tread on your tires. Consider mountain driving in winter conditinos on snowy peaks. Make sure you have chains or 4x4 traction for icey roads, out of season. Or try a different route.
Make sure your car is prepared for the weather it will encounter on your trip. You might need more antifreeze or need to recharged air-conditioning when you go through the desert.
Today, many cars have fancy wheels instead of hubcaps. These wheels usually have a lock to prevent them from being stolen. If you have a car with wheel locks, make sure you know where the key is stored (often with the jack). Otherwise, a flat tire will become a major problem since you won't be able to get the wheel off the car.
Get your car cleaned. You'll feel better in a clean car.
Pack an emergency kit in your car. Include motion sickness medication if anyone in your group suffers from it. Remove any items from the car that you won't need on your trip. Bring some blankets.
Prepare some on road entertainment for your trip. Include games and CDs of music and/or audio books. Portable DVD players are really inexpensive and help pass the time in dead spots where where is nothing new to see.
Check your plates, registration and insurance information to make sure they are all valid. Be sure to place your insurance company's emergency contact number in your car.
Check with all the drivers in your party to make sure their driver's licenses haven't expired.
Check your insurance for expiration dates and coverage for your automobile.
Arrange for someone to start your other car, if you leave one home, during very cold or very hot weather.
Fill the car with gas before you pack the car so all the fumes won't bother your passengers. Check the fluid levels and tire pressure, your tire pressure will affect the ride and gas mileage you get on your trip.
Pack the car inside the garage, with the door down, so people driving by won't find out you're leaving.

Overall, enjoy the road trip. It's not going to be as crazy as Clark W Grizwold's family vacation experiences, and if it is, make sure you video it and put it up on You Tube!

Tokyo's Top Attractions in Summer

Summer in Tokyo is hot - no doubt about it. If you look at climate charts they say the average temperature is around 28 - 30 degrees. The thermometer in my office tells a different story! Today it's reading 34 degrees and it's 11:13 am in the morning. There's a way for that mercury to go yet! Why am I telling you this? To make the most of your stay you need to be able to keep your cool and enjoy activities that make the most of this weather, without you and your loved ones getting overly frazzled in the heat. Check our list of top Tokyo summer attractions and pack your sun tan lotion for some outdoor fun.

Yoyogi Park

Yoyogi Park is set in the middle of Tokyo and can be accessed by the central loop line, the Yamanote Line. Get off at Harajuku Station, not Yoyogi Station, for easiest access to the park. This is a cool escape in the heart of the city where you can stroll under the shade of the trees or have a game of frisbee, football, or any other sport that takes your fancy. Next door is the famous Meiji Jingu Shrine so you can take in a bit of culture and history as you enjoy the surrounding greenery.

Toshimaen Water and Theme Park

Toshimaen can be found on the Oedo subway line or the Seibu Ikebukuro line. The station name for both lines is Toshimaen Station. The park is divided into different zones. You can choose to play in the water in the Hydro Polis section, or follow the rollercoaster route in the Theme Park area. It's up to you. On a hot summer day this is a favorite with Tokyoites and a great way to cool down. Choose from 31 water slides and then enjoy a dip in the wave pool. Just be ready to share your space as this is a popular attraction with tourist and locals alike.

BBQ by the Tama River

On the Meguro line at the south end of Tokyo, get off at Tamagawa Station. Bring with you a portable bbq, whatever you fancy cooking, and don't forget your favorite tipple to wash it down with. As you come out of the station, walk straight and you will see the river ahead of you. Most people set their barbecues up to the left of the big bridge you can see from the road. This is definitely an occasion where you need your suntan lotion - as I found at on a beautiful summer day!

Rooftop Beer Gardens

In the evenings, head up to the roof tops and enjoy a comfortable breeze as you eat a variety of Japanese food and enjoy a drink with your friends. You can often pay one price - the average is 3,500 yen - to have a 2 hour session of all you can eat and drink. The rooftop gardens are usually open from the beginning of July through to the end of August and are a seasonal activity enjoyed by many. This is definitely a summer party with a twist.

Climb Mount Fuji

Finally, if you have ever fancied climbing Mount Fuji, this is the season to do it! There are only around 10 weeks of the year that you are able to climb Fuji. The rest of the year, the official routes are closed. Starting in early July, people start arriving at the 5th level by car, bus, train etc and then make their way to the top on foot. On average this is a 7 hour climb. If you're lucky and get a clear day, the views from the top are just phenomenal.
