The excitement of a spontaneous road trip is something else: imagine getting up 

and yelling, “Road Trip!” and then hopping in a car with your partner and friends 

to explore an unknown part of an area. Fun! Unfortunately, getting on the road and 

having a fun, comfortable and stress-free road trip isn’t as easy as yelling “shotgun,” 

and stopping to grab some worthy snacks on the way. It takes a bit more than that.

To get the most out of your either spontaneous trip or well-planned adventure, it's

usually a good call for brainstorming some easy tips to ensure your drive results 

in an enjoyable experience for you and everyone else in the car. Below are such

India (related blogpost here). At 11 months, we took him on a 2.5 hours road trip to Whistler 

(blogpost here) and at around 13 months, he was our favourite little companion on a 9-day trip

GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM

Back in December 2022, I posted a blog about Gift Ideas for Her in hopes to help you find 

that perfect something for the woman you love and appreciate. Of course, I couldn't just end 

the matter there and not post gift ideas for the special men in your lives. They most certainly
