Pack a car kit. Fill a box or bag with stuff to keep you happy and busy while you're riding in the car. Take magazines, pens, paper, healthy snacks, word puzzles, handheld videogames, and whatever else might help you stay occupied. Remember: bad moods and fights often start because we're bored, so take what you need to avoid boredom. Read, listen, or watch. A good book can help pass the hours on a car trip. If you get queasy reading in a moving vehicle, consider listening to books on CD or your favorite music. Using a portable player with headphones will help avoid arguments about what everyone wants to listen to. Read the map. Are you a big fan of asking "Are we there yet?" Doesn't make the drive go faster, does it? Instead, try mapping out the route on a roadmap, and mark off each town or landmark as you travel. Being the "navigator" will help you focus on the places you're driving through and keep you excited about the trip. Schedule plenty of stops. The longer people stay in a car, the more likely they are to get cranky. Help the adults plan out lots of stops along the route for bathroom breaks, a picnic lunch, scenic views, landmarks, or just to walk around, stretch, and get some fresh air. Plan on stopping at least once every two hours. When you all get back in the car, mix things up a little by trading seats.
